Instalimb Selected for Tokyo's Global Startup Program

Instalimb Co., Ltd., a pioneering startup in the 3D printing industry, has recently been selected as one of the startups for the fourth batch of Tokyo's globally-focused startup support program, known as "SusHi Tech Global." Based in Sumida-ku, Tokyo and led by CEO Yasushi Tokushima, Instalimb is making significant strides in the field of high-quality prosthetics using AI and 3D printing technology.

The initiative, which aims to ensure that everyone in need has access to quality prosthetic limbs, will enable Instalimb to strengthen its existing operations in Japan, India, and the Philippines. The company plans on expanding its franchise model to more countries and will further develop a remote provision model utilizing smartphone scanning technology.

Understanding the SusHi Tech Global Program

The SusHi Tech Global program is a key initiative under Tokyo's "Global Innovation Strategy 2.0 STARTUP & SCALEUP," established in November 2025. The focus of the program is to concentrate support on startups that aim to leverage sustainable technologies to initiate societal transformation and achieve global growth. Since its inception in December 2025, 77 companies have participated, and with the inclusion of 17 new startups in the fourth phase, the program will now have a total of 94 participating companies.

Key Features of the Support Program

1. Growth Acceleration Program: Provides up to 200 million yen in financial assistance and hands-on support.
2. Resource and Energy Resilience Program: Offers similar funding and support to companies focused on strengthening resilience.
3. Global Scale-Up Program: Selects companies that have completed the previous two programs for additional funding of up to 1 billion yen.

Future Projections and Developments

Instalimb has concentrated its efforts on addressing the shortage of prosthetic limbs in the Global South, particularly in India and the Philippines. The company has made significant advancements in its direct-to-consumer (D2C) sales approach, utilizing local expertise to expand its reach beyond these regions. By leveraging experiences from existing operations, Instalimb aims to establish a robust franchise model that ensures high-quality prosthetic solutions are accessible to underserved communities worldwide.

Additionally, the development of a smartphone scanning technology will facilitate remote provision models to cater to patients in rural areas where access to specialized medical facilities may be challenging.

By doing so, Instalimb aims to surpass the limitations of traditional prosthetic delivery methods, working towards creating a new global supply infrastructure that meets the needs of diverse populations.

As Instalimb continues to uphold its vision of a world where everyone in need can access quality prosthetics, the company remains committed to its global expansion endeavors.
