Idea Foundry Nagoya: Shape Solutions, Build Connections

Idea Foundry Nagoya

A local, face to face business community in English.
Join a small group of internationally minded people in Nagoya who enjoy talking honestly about business, work, and ideas. Idea Foundry is an in person meetup focused on real conversations about what people are working on and the challenges they are facing held every two weeks on a Wednesday.

This is not a pitching night or a sales event. There are no talks or panels. The emphasis is on discussion, shared experience, and learning from others in the room.

What to Expect
🔨 Warm-Up Introductions
Share your name, what you are working on, and one current challenge. Short and informal so everyone has a chance to speak.

💬 Focused Discussion Topic
One pre selected attendee brings a real business topic or challenge for the group to explore together. Topics usually come from current work, decisions, or problems people are actively dealing with.

🧠 Group Discussion & Shared Experience
An open, practical conversation where people share ideas, perspectives, and experience rather than presentations or advice from a single expert.

🤝 Stay & Connect
After the main discussion, many people stay to continue conversations and connect naturally over food or drinks.
