Thursday Gathering #389

Thursday Gathering is Venture Café Tokyo's weekly open innovation event, returning for its 389th edition at CIC Tokyo in Toranomon Hills Business Tower. The evening brings together entrepreneurs, engineers, investors, and the broader startup and tech community for sessions, conversations, and networking across a five-hour window. The event runs in a hybrid format. In-person attendees check in on the 1st floor and join the program on the 15th floor, while remote participants can follow along through the "Join Remotely" button that appears beside each session once the gathering begins. Both formats require advance registration through the event page. Drop-in friendly and recurring every week, Thursday Gathering is a low-barrier way to plug into Tokyo's innovation ecosystem, whether you want to catch a specific session or simply meet people working on new ventures.
