JETRO will host an online acceleration program in partnership with the Cabinet Office of Japan from October 2021 to March 2022.  In this program, JETRO will collaborate with 6 major accelerators to cultivate the growth of Japanese startup ecosystems – serving as an entry for Japanese startups within the global market. Startups will receive firsthand mentorship, matching opportunities with foreign investors, and new business partnerships.

This year JETRO will select 100 top startups from innovation hubs across Japan. JETRO will support their global expansion by providing specific courses in specialized areas such as B2B, bio-healthcare, Climate/Cleantech, and University-based deep tech. Each course will be administered by a top accelerator which specializes in each area. Techstars, Alchemist, Cambridge Innovation Center, Plug and Play, Berkeley SkyDeck, and World Innovation Lab will all support startups of various growth stages via these courses.

We have been selected as one of the 10 companies for the Bio/Healthcare Course by CIC.
We are accelerating our business development overseas.
