New Japan Summit 2023 Tokyo

The New Japan Summit in Tokyo was a big success! Thanks to Techblitz for organizing it and to the sponsors. We at Carnegie were delighted to co-host, along with Japan Management Association and Stanford US-Asia Technology Management Center. Some of the sessions, including my keynote and some of the fireside chats will become articles from Techblitz.

Several hundred in person participants and 1500+ people online, showcasing some exciting startups from inside and outside Japan, and lots of learning from large Japanese firms who are engaging in important open innovation efforts. Shibuya Startups, partnering with the Shibuya Ward government and with some corporate investors, and utilizing a Japanese government policy that few municipalities are making use of, actually offers an entrepreneurship visa for one year even to founders who have not started their companies yet. It's quite competitive, but the first batch of startups are underway.
