Startup-ecosystem Collaboration Event – Discover Japan, Discover Austria2023/05/11

Following its recent expansion into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, we are pleased to announce that Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus (KGAP+) will have the first-ever online collaboration event with Global Incubator Network Austria (GIN).

KGAP+ is an acceleration program based in Keihanna Science City, Japan, that supports overseas startups looking to establish a foothold in Japan while also helping Japanese startups expand globally. GIN, on the other hand, offers comprehensive support to startups from selected hotspots in Asia (including Japan) seeking to establish their businesses in Austria and expand to Europe, while also helping Austrian startups to expand the other way round.

This event aims to bring together startups from Keihanna Science City and Austria to explore potential collaboration and business expansion opportunities. Throughout the online event, three startups from each region will have a chance to showcase their innovative products. With Japan being the third-largest economy in the world and Austria being the most central European country known for its high economic security and social stability, startups will benefit significantly from each other’s strengths and expertise. We look forward to welcoming participants to this exciting event.
