OUR APPROACH
As a strategic partner for Google for Startups, we planned and facilitated a multi-part series of high-level talk sessions and workshops titled “Changemakers Unplugged”. We managed the end-to-end process: from curating speakers (Alumni, VCs, and Founders) and defining “talking points” on topics like Longevity, AI Ethics, and Market Entry, to moderating deep-dive discussions.
IMPACT
The series effectively “anchored” global startup visions within the Tokyo ecosystem, attracting hundreds of attendees across the startup community. We provided a platform for candid exchange, helping founders move beyond polished success stories to share practical strategies for navigating Japan’s unique business landscape.
