Interactive Format of Miraise DEMO DAY

Miraise DEMO DAY emphasizes direct interaction between presenters and investors, an approach that started in 2024. With three events conducted so far, a total of ten startups have pitched their ideas, and some have even progressed towards business collaborations and investments.

Miraise actively pursues cross-border investments aimed at supporting startups with prospects for overseas expansion, as well as teams from abroad looking to enter the Japanese market. The DEMO DAY serves as a supportive environment that fosters such global ambitions.

Investor Insights

Many participants provided thoughtful feedback on their experiences.
