Summary
YOKOHAMA CONNÉCT #39 is an afternoon-to-evening innovation gathering at TECH HUB YOKOHAMA in the Yokohama Landmark Tower, running as either in-person or hybrid with online viewing for selected sessions. The program mixes Japanese and English talks, with a text-based simultaneous translation tool on hand so attendees can follow either language. The session lineup spans global innovation, deep tech, and the startup ecosystem. Talks include PORTWAVE YOKOHAMA on global innovation, a look at Austria as an under-recognized innovation hub in Central Europe, a Road to GREEN EXPO discussion on nature-positive living, and an English session on regulatory pathways in Japan for the early commercialization of frontier therapeutics. In-person-only sessions add an open-innovation talk with major German companies and a student entrepreneurship pitch. A Cafe Area runs throughout the event for open networking, giving entrepreneurs, researchers, and the technically curious time to meet across the program. Pre-registration is requested through the event link.
