【Shibuya Startup Support × FEW Japan】Startup Series Vol. 1
Ecosystems & Communities for Global Founders
Building the foundations for entrepreneurs to grow internationally
The power of institutional support and community
What does it really take for entrepreneurs to expand beyond borders?
International growth takes more than ambition. It requires public-sector support, communities that open doors, and the resilience to keep moving forward. Throughout this series, speakers with firsthand experience will explore these three essential foundations and share insights from their own journeys.
This event marks the first installment of the Startup Series presented by Shibuya Startup Support and FEW Japan (Female Entrepreneurs Worldwide).
Under the theme “Ecosystems & Communities for Global Founders,” we will explore the resources and support that help entrepreneurs enter new markets, grow their businesses, and discover opportunities through community.
Alongside presentations and a panel discussion, the event includes dedicated networking time to connect with fellow participants.
Whether you are a founder, a business owner, or simply interested in startups, international business, or women’s empowerment, we warmly welcome you to join us.
