The Tokyo Consortium promotes the formation of a startup ecosystem and accelerates the creation and growth of startups through industry-academic-government collaboration. Under our "Deep Ecosystem" initiative, we select startups with high growth potential for intensive support, strongly pushing them toward becoming "unicorns".
We are pleased to announce the selection of the companies (startups) to be supported in the Deep Ecosystem for the fiscal year 2022.
1. Overview of the Deep Ecosystem
The Deep Ecosystem is a unique initiative by the Tokyo Consortium that selects startups poised for rapid growth with an eye toward overseas expansion, provides them with intensive support, and propels them toward unicorn-level growth.
Selected companies will receive support from diverse members leveraging the Tokyo Consortium's resources and network, including domestic and international venture capital firms, institutional investors, and established startups.
