Concept
Japan's Startup Ecosystem
Enters a New Phase
In November 2022, Tokyo Metropolitan Government formulated the strategy "Global Innovation with STARTUPS," aimed at pioneering a new era in collaboration with startups, addressing Tokyo's challenges, and driving growth. This strategy promotes the growth of startups from a "Born Global" perspective and sets forth an "Innovation Vision of 10x10x10," multiplying global reach, expanding the base, and enhancing public-private partnerships by tenfold to carve out the future.
Not only startup entrepreneurs but also venture capitalists (VCs), accelerators, large corporations, government agencies, and research institutions that form the ecosystem are steadily increasing in Japan. The Japanese startup ecosystem is now entering a new phase. It's not just the entrepreneurs, but all players in the ecosystem are connecting dots to lines and then to surfaces, heralding a substantial change that can transform society and industries.
As ecosystems around the world grow significantly, if we think that "Japan is stagnant and not keeping up with other countries around the world," each of us, as part of the ecosystem, must change our perspective on how we interact to accelerate the pace of change.
The Startup Ecosystem Summit 2023 will be held as the kickoff event for the newly established Tokyo Innovation Base (TIB), a platform where ecosystem players come together.
