Practical business matching between Japan-based startups and overseas corporations and venture capitalists.
What to expect
Startup Lady has launched the Go Global Hub, a platform that brings together entrepreneurs, investors, and companies from Japan and abroad to connect, collaborate, and drive innovation.
As part of this initiative, the first global connector salon will take place on November 10, where international and Japanese entrepreneurs, corporates, and VCs will share their business ideas and create opportunities for business collaboration.
The event aims to foster opportunities for co-creation to develop into practical cooperation through mini-pitches and discussions. The event will also feature a three-minute pitch session open to interested parties. Speakers will briefly introduce their company’s initiatives, aiming to collaborate with international investors and entrepreneurs.
