This session will be held in a hybrid format (onsite and online).
On April 16th, Thursday Gathering #379 gets taken over. Venture Café Tokyo becomes THE LIVING ECOSYSTEM, a high-density Innovation Commons fully dedicated to women-led innovation in Japan.
Japan's startup landscape is at a historic turning point, and for one night we are centralizing the entire ecosystem under one roof: collapsing the distance between founders and resources, removing barriers to growth, and creating a frictionless environment for what matters most: deal-making, mentorship, and action.
Founders, investors, ecosystem builders, government, and community organizations, all in one room, all moving at once. This isn't just another panel. It is a live snapshot of Japan's future economy.
In this 15-minute opening session, we walk you through the four tracks of the evening: Growth & Capital, Visibility & Storytelling, Community & Support, and Women's Health & FemTech, and how to make the most of the night.
