KGAP+ (Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus) will hold a selection pitch webinar for Batch 8 in Canada.
KGAP+ is a startup support program for promising startups from Japan and abroad. Startups pursue collaboration with large Japanese enterprises as well as overseas expansion. So far, 96 startups from 11 countries have participated in the Batch 1 to 7, and more than 70% of the startups have been able to implement PoC or enter into collaborative discussions with the program’s support.
The “Canada Challenge” is a stage of candidates from Canada. In collaboration with the core partner NRC IRAP (National Research Council Canada, Industrial Research Assistance Program), promising startups that have passed tough pre-selection process will eagerly pitch their innovative technologies and services for participation in the program.
- National Research Council Canada (NRC) and ATR signed a MOU of cooperation in the fields of industrial technology in April 2019, in the presence of the Prime Ministers of both countries, through collaboration in participation of Canadian companies in KGAP+. For more information, click here.
