Japan Global Innovators' Forum 2025

Tokyo is set to host the 2nd annual Japan Global Innovators' Forum (JGIF) on March 13, 2025. This event, organized by Pacific Bridge Media and Consulting Inc. and co-hosted by the Mainichi Future Creation Lab, will bring together pioneering Japanese and international startups targeting the most pressing social and environmental challenges. After the success of its inaugural event in 2024, the forum aims to showcase innovative solutions from startups eager to make a global impact.

Focus on Innovation and Collaboration

The forum will serve as a platform for startups to present their innovative technologies and solutions across four key categories: Age Tech, Health Tech, Mobility, and Green Energy. This year, emphasis will also be placed on collaboration, as both local Japanese startups and Asian entrepreneurs will engage in discussions surrounding Japan’s unique challenges, such as aging demographics and rural depopulation.

A Hub for Growth

The event aims to connect entrepreneurs with potential collaborators, investors, and supporters. The forum will feature a panel of industry experts who will evaluate the growth prospects of participating startups, providing invaluable insights into opportunities for expansion both within Japan and in international markets.

Special sessions will highlight innovative startups from East Asian countries, along with a showcase of regional Japanese startups, broadening the scope of collaboration and innovation within the region.
