KGAP+ (Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus) will hold a selection pitch webinar for Batch 7 in Israel.
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.
The final of the six selection rounds for the 7th cohort is for Israel! Eight startups from the well-known startup nation, which have passed tough pre-selection process, with the help of the Israel Innovation Authority (IIA), a core partner of KGAP+, will make passionate pitches about their innovative technologies and services in order to participate in the program.
