Deep ecosystem activity introduction Event information

“Event to build momentum towards creating unicorn-class companies” held

Startup Ecosystem Tokyo Consortium aims to strengthen international competitiveness, create and grow startups, and ultimately realize sustainable development of Tokyo's economy by establishing Tokyo as a global hub city for startup ecosystems. We aim to. We also aim to implement innovations from the startup ecosystem into society and promote activities that give back to the local community.

This time, for startups and the various players who support startups (companies, VCs, universities, local governments, etc.), we will be holding a unicorn-level event where you can deepen your understanding of the elements, approaches, and support necessary for startups to become unicorns. We will hold an event to build momentum for business creation.

We will also introduce the Tokyo Consortium's unique initiative, Deep Ecosystem*, which provides start-up companies aiming to grow into unicorns the opportunity to receive intensive support, including the content of support and how to apply.
*An initiative to select startups in the green field, etc. that are expected to grow rapidly in the future, and provide intensive support and boost their growth with an eye toward expansion not only domestically but also overseas.
