KGAP+ Batch5 – Europe Challenge – [Online]2021/07/07

KGAP+ (Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus) will hold a preliminary round in Europe for Batch 5.

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. So far, 48 startups from 8 countries have participated in the program, and 83% of them have been able to implement PoC or enter into collaborative discussions with the program’s support.

The “Europe Challenge” is a stage for candidates from Europe. In addition to our long-time partner, the Embassy of Spain, this spring the Embassy of Finland and the State of Bavaria in Japan have joined our collaboration network. Startups nominated by these partners will pitch their innovative technologies and services to take part in the Batch 5.

After the event, there will be a breakout session where you can have a Q&A session with the startups and interact with them to the fullest. We look forward to seeing you there!
