Following on from last year, to coincide with the YOXO FESTIVAL, we will be collaborating with venture capital firms (VCs) operating in Yokohama to hold a pitch event where startups with high growth potential recommended by some of Japan's leading VCs will take the stage. Business companies, including members of the Yokohama Future Organization, top-tier startups, and active investors will come together in Yokohama to provide opportunities for partnerships, investment, and the building of collaborative relationships, thereby strongly supporting the growth of startups.
