Summary

Snack & Connect is a casual weekly gathering for founders, operators, and members of the startup community, built around light snacks, relaxed conversation, and useful introductions. This session features a special guest, JETRO, the Japan External Trade Organization under the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, which runs a global network across more than 50 countries and supports the overseas expansion of over 700 startups each year. The program introduces JETRO's acceleration programs and J-Bridge, a platform for open innovation and cross-border business collaboration. It is a chance for startups eyeing international growth to learn about public support and connect with peers. The event is hosted by Shibuya Startup Support, a Shibuya City Office initiative that helps startups launch or expand in Japan with guidance, visa and incorporation support, and access to the local ecosystem.
