AironWorks Selected for Global Startup Acceleration Program

AironWorks, a pioneering company based in Minato, Tokyo, that provides an AI-driven cybersecurity platform, has recently announced its selection for the Global Startup Acceleration Program (GSAP). This program is conducted in partnership with the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) and StartX, the well-known accelerator from Stanford University.

Understanding GSAP (Global Startup Acceleration Program)

GSAP was initiated in 2020 with the support of Japan’s Cabinet Office and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI), aiming to assist Japanese startups in expanding their operations internationally. With over 500 startups supported to date, the program has been instrumental in helping companies secure funding, develop business channels in North America and Asia, establish local subsidiaries, and create partnerships with major corporations, thereby laying a solid foundation for global expansion.

AI Course by StartX

AironWorks' selection is part of the specially designed AI course by StartX. Known as a leading startup community and accelerator in Silicon Valley, StartX has fostered more than 2,500 Stanford entrepreneurs, demonstrating a competitive environment with less than a 10% acceptance rate among over 300 applications each year.

The AI course focuses on providing tailored resources and support for 15 carefully selected Japanese startups over a 12-week period, with a keen emphasis on artificial intelligence. AironWorks joins this exclusive roster of startups aiming to leverage AI for furthering their goals.
