FY24

Our Future

With the introduction of our new programs in Tokyo: Spark, Boost and Orbit, and seeing how they have greatly impacted startups and corporations beyond Mitsui & Co. and across the world, the novel course we’ve set for ourselves this past year has shown us that our future will look brighter and bolder than ever.

Hoping to have as much of an impact on Silicon Valley, we are going into the new fiscal year with a focus on activating our Palo Alto, California studio. Our unique, powerful connection between the Japan/APAC region and Silicon Valley is what sets us apart, casting a wider global net by bridging the startup ecosystems of Japan and the US can lead us to untapped potential and innovation. We recognize and know that there is an incredible synergy between these two regions, and it is our mission to find the next generation of leaders and innovators who can impact not only the Asia and US markets, but make a significant mark on the world at large.

Already, we’ve had events to grow our community in Silicon Valley, and that’s barely scratching the surface. With new programs, products, and opportunities, we are excited to show the world what we’ve got in store for the startup ecosystem.

This year, you can expect to see new programs in Palo Alto and new innovations including products in AI, fashion, green industry, and more.

After all, setting our own course means we get to create the future we want, and that’s exactly what we’re doing.
