TORYUMON 2025 BURST: Empowering Young Entrepreneurs in Japan

The long-awaited U25 startup event, TORYUMON 2025 BURST, is set to take place in Japan, with two significant dates on the calendar. The Tokyo event will occur on December 20, 2025, at Bellesalle Shibuya First, eagerly following up on the momentum generated by its previous iterations. Additionally, Fukuoka will host its version of TORYUMON, taking place on November 8, 2025, at Fukuoka Growth Next. Since launching its inaugural event in March 2017, TORYUMON has grown significantly, marking its 23rd event and continuing to innovate and enhance its offerings for young entrepreneurs.

Purpose of the Event

TORYUMON serves as an important platform for young innovators and entrepreneurs aged 25 and under. The event targets aspiring entrepreneurs who have already launched their ventures, those gearing up to start, and anyone interested in the startup ecosystem. It aims to provide fresh perspectives and opportunities to explore the world of startups. The previous TORYUMON 2025 RISE attracted approximately 700 attendees, showcasing its considerable appeal.

The organizers have introduced a specialized support program for U25 entrepreneurs in various stages of their journey: the TORYUMON ZERO, supported by First Followers. This initiative aims to continuously assist young entrepreneurs in overcoming challenges as they establish their businesses. Several student entrepreneurs from past events are known to secure substantial seed funding of around ¥10 million, exemplifying TORYUMON's effectiveness in nurturing startup talent.

Moreover, TORYUMON is not just a networking fair; it's a launchpad for young startup enthusiasts eager to connect with renowned entrepreneurs, investors, and political figures. The event seeks to cultivate a vibrant community where aspiring U25 entrepreneurs can thrive and benefit from direct interactions with successful role models.
