Summary
An information session on Tokyo Tech Week, which runs Tuesday December 9 to Thursday December 11, 2026. Tokyo Tech Week is Tokyo's first large-scale tech week, bringing together startups, investors, large corporates, research institutions and government across three days of pitches, panel discussions, networking and hands-on sessions. This session covers the program in detail, how to take part, and sponsorship opportunities.
The second half shares how the Tech Week format has spread to other cities, using three precedents: Boston Tech Week and NY Tech Week, both led by a16z, and Atlanta Tech Week, run by RenderATL. The discussion covers how each city's ecosystem, from fintech and media to design and engineering, shapes the shape of its own week.
The venue is x Bridge-Yaesu in Yaesu, Chuo City, Tokyo, from 18:30 to 19:30. The entrance is on the Sakura-dori side rather than the main street, on the first floor, with the session itself on the second. It is aimed at anyone considering attending or partnering on Tokyo Tech Week 2026.
About the community
A gathering point for people working across Japan's startup ecosystem: founders, venture investors, corporate innovation teams, research institutions and public-sector staff. Programming runs on an irregular schedule and mixes briefings, conferences and networking, with attendees typically focused on fundraising, business partnerships and links to ecosystems abroad. This particular session serves as advance groundwork for the larger December event.
