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, 79 startups from 10 countries have participated in the Batch 1 to 6, and 80% of the startups have been able to implement PoC or enter into collaborative discussions with the program’s support.

Bavaria, Germany, where one company participated in each of the 5th and 6th cohorts. The time is ripe to finally host the “Bavaria Challenge”! The startups nominated by State of Bavaria in Japan will present their products and services from one of Europe’s leading industrial clusters, where global giants such as Adidas, BMW, and Siemens have made their mark, and where cross-sectoral innovations are being created.
