The Africa Private Equity & オンライン カジノ ブラック ジャック -Interaction between African and Kyoto startup ecosystem to tackle global social issues-

Aug 19, 2022

Appointed as a global hub city for "The Startup City Project" by the Japanese government in July 2020, the Kyoto-Osaka-Kobe Bay Area is tackling the formation of a world-class startup ecosystem.

As part of these initiatives, we held an event to showcase Kyoto startups taking on the challenge of solving global social issues and the startup ecosystem of Kyoto in the presence of AfricInvest (*1), a leading African investor, on July 11. Please watch the video of the roadshow.

At this event, investors active in Africa spoke about social issues with global impact, such as climate change and healthcare, and the business opportunities associated with them, as well as their expectations for contributions from Japanese technology. In addition, startup companies in Kyoto promoted their businesses utilizing cutting-edge technologies for water, education, forest conservation, and environmental protection.

Startup support organizations from Kyoto will continue to take steps to create an international startup ecosystem by providing various opportunities to interact with investors and startups.
