Innovators Cross Lounge 2025 ◆Innovators’ Cross Lounge 2025 ~Crocodile Crocodile Panic!? Local Governments, Governments, and Friends~ Details Page https://01booster.com/event/4219 We will be renting out a bar in downtown Sapporo for a meetup and networking event titled “INNOVATORS CROSS LOUNGE 2025.” This event was held in Sapporo in 2023 and 2024, and “INNOVATORS CROSS LOUNGE” has become established as a place where diverse innovators gather in the evenings to network. Last year’s event attracted far more participants than expected, and the lively interaction continued late into the night, filled with smiles and conversation, resulting in a resounding success. This year, we’re bringing you an even bigger event. The theme is “Crocodile Panic!? Local Government, Government, and Friends.” Officials from government, startup support, corporate open innovation teams, and “friends” active across regions and industries can gather casually to catch up on their work and make new connections. We’re offering a relaxed and enjoyable time. This is a “backyard midnight meetup”-style event held quietly in the evenings of Sapporo, with a late start time of 9 PM. This time was chosen to allow those who have finished the main event’s networking session and the side-event dinner to participate. Additionally, there will be a lightning pitch (LT) session for those who wish to introduce the initiatives they are working on (request-only, advance
registration required). This will create an opportunity for unexpected collaborations between participants.
