[Event Report] ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲーム DEMO DAY
Joining Japan's Thriving Startup Ecosystem

On November 12, 2024, ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲーム Demo Day saw 12 Japanese and international startups having been selected from across 79 countries and regions present their results from a high-profile 3-month accelerator program.

Their timing couldn't be better. Startup investment in Japan has increased approximately 10-fold between 2013 and 2022. Tokyo in particular is currently growing as one of the top 10 ecosystems in the world. Against this backdrop*1, Techstars is a valuable opportunity for foreign startup companies to tap into the fast-growing Japanese market.

At the event's panel discussion, David Cohen, founder and CEO of Techstars, said that the impressive growth was due to the collaborative spirit of the Tokyo ecosystem, which has "give first" as a core value. "At first, you help without expectation, but someday you're going to benefit from helping that startup. That is the secret weapon ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲームokyo has really figured that out."

Yuki Shirato, Managing Director of ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲーム, said that startups usually need three things: capital, talent, and customers and that the Japanese government can help with all of these three things. "They provide operational capital in the form of subsidies or grants. They are promoting startups in Japan from top down, so a lot of top talent from top universities are interested in joining startups instead of large enterprises. Then customers have the platform to connect startups to a lot of large enterprises. The government is doing a great job of cutting red tape too and attracting foreign founders to Japan. It's a great trend."

Dushyant Kumar, Co-Founder & COO of InfraHive, spoke on the benefits of breaking into the Japanese market with the government's assistance: "Manufacturing, automotive are examples of two key industries in which Japanese players have global presence. ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲームhe Japanese government is investing in technologies like ours as well as supporting programs like Techstars."

Mark Amouzgar, Co-Founder & CEO of March Health, spoke about the unique benefits and potential of collaborating with Japanese companies: "It's in the attention to detail. When Japanese companies do something, they do it perfectly. And from the government side ブラック ジャック 無料 ゲームhe private investment side, everyone is ready to help Japan's startup ecosystem to flourish globally. A huge wave of AI companies are coming here now. The next 5 to 10 years will be phenomenal for Japan's market and startups."

Overall, the interviewees' expectations echoed the trend in the data: Japan's startup ecosystem is expected to continue its robust growth, fostering increased innovation and collaboration with Japanese companies.
