Ballista's Participation in Startup JAPAN EXPO 2025

Ballista Inc., based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, will showcase its innovative business support platform, Yoake, at the highly anticipated Startup JAPAN EXPO 2025. Scheduled for December 17-18, 2025, the expo will take place at My Dome Osaka and marks the company's first appearance at a significant startup event in West Japan since the launch of its services.

During the event, Ballista will present the unique features and advantages of Yoake, differentiating it from similar services in the industry through detailed demonstrations at its booth. Attendees will also have the opportunity to engage in consultations about the company's consulting services, emphasizing comprehensive support for corporate growth beyond just talent utilization.

Overview of Yoake

Yoake serves as a connecting platform for freelance professionals, startups, and enterprise firms. While it primarily focuses on matching freelancers and side-job workers with job opportunities, it aims to maximize the individual potential of professionals. Through the creation of synergies among experts, Yoake fosters value co-creation and innovation while providing a framework that allows these professionals to benefit financially and connect organically, enabling new business ventures.

To address the latent challenges faced by freelancers, Yoake has implemented a robust support system encompassing independent support, project work assistance, and career development. In November 2025, Yoake underwent a significant update to transform into Yoake 2.0. This enhanced version expands its focus from merely introducing professionals to becoming a comprehensive platform supporting business development, including entrepreneurship, corporate structuring, team building, and growth strategies.

For enterprises, Yoake goes beyond just connecting them with professional talent; it provides solutions that comprehensively support growth, including client acquisition assistance, designing internal systems, and operational support.
