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, in the green field, we will be targeting startups and the various players that support startups (companies, VCs, universities, local governments, etc.) to learn about the elements, approaches, and support necessary for startups to grow and capture overseas markets. We will hold an event to build momentum so that you can deepen your understanding.
We will also introduce the Tokyo Consortium's unique initiative ``Green Startup Support*'', which provides start-up companies aiming to grow in the green field with an opportunity to receive intensive support, including the details of the 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.
