[Online] KGAP+ Special Edition -Take Initiative after COVID-19 with Key Players and Startups in Worldwide Innovation Bases- (Israel -Part1)2020/06/11

KGAP+ (Keihanna Global Acceleration Program Plus), an acceleration program launched in 2019 from the Keihanna Research Complex Project, will carry out a “Special Edition” program together with the global innovation partners, to consider a paradigm shift in and after the coronavirus pandemic and support startups taking challenges for innovations.

It is an intensive program that after a series of online events where startups and support organizations in each region make a pitch or presentation, 10 startups selected from these events can give their pitch in the “Demo Day” at the end of July.

This time is Israel, well known as a startup nation. Startups interested in social changes in the Post-COVID-19 world and Japanese market come together; Israel Innovation Authority shares the current situation and support programs in Israel; Japanese companies perform a reverse pitch. Then, it finally leads to a pitch event by Israeli startups in early July. Please join us as an audience!
