*Foreign companies participate in four industry sectors, VC, CVC, incubator, and accelerator*
This year, foreign companies will be divided into categories A and B, and category A will include foreign companies in four industrial fields (AI, green tech/climate tech, fintech, and food tech). Half of the participating foreign companies are active, award-winning startups that are at the cutting edge of their time, making it a great opportunity to make early contact with companies that have not yet begun full-scale business in Japan.
Furthermore, in Category B, overseas VCs, CVCs, incubators, and accelerators will also participate, so it is possible to participate in interviews for the purpose of collaboration in terms of funding and management.
Participation and interpretation fees are free, so if you are interested in collaborating with foreign companies or as a stepping stone to business expansion, please join us!
