YOKOHAMA CONNÉCT #42

YOKOHAMA CONNÉCT #42 runs from 16:00 to 20:30 at TECH HUB YOKOHAMA in the Yokohama Landmark Tower, Minato Mirai. The evening mixes short sessions with an open networking window in the cafe area. Most sessions can be joined either in person or online, and a text-based simultaneous translation tool is offered so Japanese and English speakers can follow the same talks. The lineup opens at 16:30 with a bilingual orientation on how to get the most out of the gathering. GLOBAL INNOVATION NIGHT in YOKOHAMA Vol.7 follows at 17:00 in English. At 18:00 a Japanese-language session examines women's well-being in the AI era, looking at health, working styles, and connection from a Yokohama perspective. At 19:00 a Japanese session turns to atotsugi (successor) ventures and the founders using regional businesses as a base to change Japan and markets beyond it. One in-person-only session at 18:00 gives university students 30 minutes with people they would not meet in ordinary campus life. Networking in the cafe area is in-person only and stays open the full 16:00 to 20:30 window. Pre-registration through the event page is requested.
