Scrum Studio's HFX Acceleration Program

Scrum Studio Inc. has officially unveiled its new acceleration program, Hokkaido F Village X (HFX), aimed at creating a collaborative ecosystem for global startups within the stunning landscape of Hokkaido, Japan. This initiative has been designed not just to connect startups with local resources, but to actively facilitate the implementation of innovative technologies and strategic partnerships, driving forward the growth and development of Hokkaido's economy.

A Unique Opportunity

The HFX program promises to bridge the gap between international entrepreneurs and Japanese corporations, local governments, and investors. According to Michael Yan, Managing Director of HFX, the program is set against the backdrop of the F VILLAGE—an urban development designed to host a multitude of facilities, including the ES CON FIELD HOKKAIDO, home to the renowned HOKKAIDO NIPPONHAM FIGHTERS baseball team.

Hokkaido, known for its breathtaking natural beauty and rapidly growing investment in sectors such as data centers and renewable energy, offers a prime location for nurturing innovations that can tackle pressing societal challenges. Despite these advantages, Hokkaido is grappling with issues like an aging population and the need to create new industries --- a gap that HFX intends to fill through collaboration with entrepreneurs from around the globe.

Fostering Local Growth through Innovation

The program is strategically positioned to leverage Hokkaido's assets while addressing its challenges. Startups that join HFX will have access to an environment unencumbered by legacy infrastructures, allowing for the rapid deployment of cutting-edge solutions.
