Summary
Shibuya Startup Support, a program backed by Tokyo's Shibuya City, hosts a casual evening in Neukölln, Berlin, for creative tech founders and startups curious about Japan. It targets founders working where creativity meets technology, such as music tech, entertainment, gaming, XR, art and design tech, fashion tech, and the nightlife and culture industries, with ecosystem builders, creatives and investors also welcome.
The program includes a short introduction to how Shibuya City supports international startups, a first look at Creative Tech Shibuya 2027 (a five-day residency in Shibuya planned for 8 to 12 February 2027, applications open until 9 November 2026), short pitches from supporting partners, and relaxed networking with drinks and music. The exact venue is to be announced and registrations are reviewed by the organizer.
