An unveiling ceremony was held on Friday 24 May for J-startup WEST, for which our selection was recently announced.

J-startup WEST is a start-up support project run by the Shikoku Bureau of Economy, Trade and Industry, established to select promising start-ups from the Shikoku region that want to spread their wings nationally and globally, and to promote public-private partnerships.

Eleven companies from the Shikoku region were selected. The event provided an opportunity for mutual exchange through the presentation of commemorative plaques, pitches by the companies and talk sessions.
