■ MIRAISE DEMO DAY with an emphasis on interactivity “MIRAISE DEMO DAY” is an invitation-only pitch event for support recipients carefully selected by MIRAISE. The event was held for the first time on May 28th with the aim of creating investment and collaboration opportunities for Millais’ portfolio entrepreneurs.
The event was held as an invitation-only event with a maximum number of participants so that entrepreneurs and investors could interact and feel each other’s enthusiasm. In a post-event survey of participants, many commented that “the atmosphere and scale made it easy to interact.”
“MIRAISE DEMO DAY” will continue to be invite-only as we emphasize interactivity, but we will gradually increase the number of invitees and expand the scale. We also plan to hold this event several times a year as a regular Miraiz event.
