Tokyo Consortium Logo

The Tokyo Consortium is a startup ecosystem centered around Tokyo and extending throughout the Tokyo area.

In 2020, it was established to become a platform for creating new connections by leveraging the area's diverse industrial clusters, in line with Tokyo's goal of "establishing itself as a 'Startup Ecosystem Global Hub City*.'" We will strengthen and develop the startup ecosystem in a multifaceted and multilayered manner, support the social implementation of innovation, and aim to give back to the region and sustainably develop the economy of the Tokyo area.

*Eight hub cities certified based on the Cabinet Office's "World-Class Startup Ecosystem Base Formation Strategy"
