APT Women ACCELERATION PROGRAM IN TOKYO FOR WOMEN

Programs

Overseas Dispatch Program

This year, we plan to organize a program with people and facilities involved in the start-up in USA and Singapore.
We plan to do so around January 2025.

The purpose of the program is to invite all who wish to participate in the Japan Acceleration Program in collaboration with key stakeholders and organizations involved with women entrepreneurs in overseas cities that are active in supporting women ventures in order to gain a better understanding of how they plan to expand overseas.
In addition to the full-participation programs, we provide individual support tailored to the needs of each participant.

The full-participation program, with the cooperation of local supporters such as academic institutions, local experts, and venture support organizations, plans to present at a pitch event for the purpose of raising funds and promoting public relations, to give presentations in English, to give questions and answers, and to build a local network.The organizations involved differ depending on the region of dispatch, but the contents are scheduled to be as follows (some of which may be limited in number).
