Japan's largest healthcare-specific demo day, now in its 11th year, where 20 selected startups in drug discovery, biotech, regenerative medicine, digital health and medical devices pitch to international pharma, VCs and accelerators. The cohort behind it has raised over 83 billion yen, and the room is unusually high-signal — global corporates and overseas investors fly in specifically to scout Kyoto's deep-tech bench. Day one is closed partnering meetings and a reception; the day-two finalist pitches and keynotes are open to the public by free advance registration, landing the week before IVS so you can stack both trips.
