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.

Following a series of online events where startups and support organizations in each region make a pitch or presentation, “KGAP+ Day” will be held on July 29th and 10 startups selected from the series will be pitching. The KGAP+ Day combines the finale with the beginning of a regular program of KGAP+, namely, the startups will start their journey to collaborative PoCs with Japanese companies. Supports and mentoring will be provided until the end of October.

At the Special Edition #3, Mr. Murat Aktihanoglu, Co-founder & Managing Director from Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator (ERA), New York City’s leading accelerator will share insights on how startups cope with challenging times and what will become of acceleration, as well as new business demands and expectations. Please join and exchange opinions!
