KGAP+ (Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus) will hold a preliminary round with InnovationRCA for Batch 6.
KGAP+ is a startup support program that attracts promising startups from Japan and abroad with the goal of conducting PoC and pilot tests in collaboration with large Japanese enterprises as well as overseas expansion. Through collaboration with partner organizations around the world, 63 companies from 9 countries have participated in the program, and 83% of the 48 companies in Batch 1 to 4 have been able to implement PoC or enter into collaboration discussions with the program’s support.
Startups from InnovationRCA, the incubator at the Royal College of Arts in London, the world’s top art and design university where Dyson founder Sir James Dyson and Apple’s former Chief Design Officer Sir Jony Ive served as chancellors, will pitch for seats on the Batch 6. Along with innovative products, we will also introduce InnovationRCA’s program that will start interacting with KGAP+.
