Join the Unique Startup Collaboration Consultation Event

Overview of the Event

On June 9, the vibrant Shinagawa district will play host to an engaging consultation event aimed at fostering collaboration between startups and large corporations. This event is a part of Shinagawa's initiative to connect rising startups with experienced advisors from established businesses, focusing particularly on problem-solving and mentoring.

Recent trends have shown that startups frequently seek advice on how to collaborate effectively with larger corporations. This event addresses those needs head-on! Participants will gain insight from corporate leaders through a reverse pitch session.

This knowledge is designed to equip startups with the understanding necessary to navigate these engagements successfully.
