Announcing Pitch Events: Immersion Programs for Startup Global Expansion

Each year, NEDO organize two start-up acceleration programs called the Immersion Programs, where we select a number of Japanese startups to assist them with expanding into their intended global markets.

We are pleased to announce the upcoming Pitch Events where these selected startups will be given the opportunities to pitch —those targeting the U.S. markets will do so as part of our Silicon Valley Immersion Program (SVIP), while those targeting the European market will do so as part of our Europe Immersion Program (EIP)

The selected startups who will be visiting Silicon Valley and Paris are currently preparing for their business development activities. Each startup is accelerating its efforts to refine strategies and solutions for successful market entry.

This event offers a valuable opportunity to gain insight into the global strategies of cutting-edge startups and explore innovative solutions poised for international growth. We look forward to your attendance.
