OUR APPROACH
Hub Tokyo served as the exclusive Community Partner for Tokyo chapter of a book “Startup Guide Japan”. We led the curation and nomination process across six categories (Startups, Founders, Programs, Investors, Spaces, Schools), using our deep-rooted local insights to ensure the book reflected the true diversity and potential of Tokyo’s ecosystem.
IMPACT
By organizing an Advisory Board of 10-15 prominent players and managing the selection of content, we provided the definitive “Startup Guide” for international founders entering Japan. This project increased the global visibility of local changemakers and established Impact HUB Tokyo as the primary “entry point” for global organizations looking to connect with Japan’s innovative scene.
