Event Details
Overview
The Tokyo startup event scene is gaining new momentum with Go Global Hub #3, a flagship program by Startup Lady, backed by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. Taking place on Monday, November 10, 2025, at Plug and Play Japan in Shibuya, this event brings together global founders, investors, and enterprises to foster cross-border innovation and accelerate real-world collaboration.
Unlike a typical networking mixer, this salon is designed for substance and synergy—where early-stage startups meet decision-makers, and every interaction counts. Participants can expect high-value mini-pitches, interactive panels, and open networking opportunities that go beyond exchanging cards to forming actionable partnerships and investment relationships that transcend borders.
