This initiative aims to contribute to the growth of Japan and Asia by attracting funds, human assets, technology, and information from around the world.

This event aims to convey to U.S. startups the appeal of Tokyo as a business development destination, inviting them to expand into Tokyo, collaborating with local companies in the city. It will also provide investors and business professionals with a deeper understanding of Tokyo’s startup ecosystem, thus expanding investment opportunities.
