2025 Season Kickoff Event will be held

A kick-off event will be held at Tech Planter 2025.
This event is intended to create an opportunity to initiate communication between prospective entry teams (hereafter referred to as "entry teams") and partner companies (hereafter referred to as "partners").

On the day of the event, both participating partners and entry teams will be asked to make a short pitch of 60 to 90 seconds. We aim to create a place where both partners and entry teams can share their passion and challenges, and connect with each other based on their visions, rather than introducing their companies or presenting their business models and market forecasts.
