Fukuoka Growth Next, a public-private startup support facility in Fukuoka City, is holding "Fukuoka Growth Night in Tokyo ~High Growth Program DEMO DAY~", a showcase event for our growth support program, the High Growth Program (HGP).
High Growth Program is a program that supports essential elements for business growth of Fukuoka-based startups, including fundraising preparation, business partnership opportunities, and management issue resolution. In FY2025, 12 Fukuoka startups have been selected, tackling significant social challenges in fields such as GX, AI, ESG, food and health, smart agriculture, disaster prevention and infrastructure DX, real estate, content, and restaurant DX.
This event aims to create opportunities for dialogue in the Tokyo metropolitan area tailored to each startup's business stage, responding to the selected startups' needs for connecting with investors and corporate partners in the capital region. All 12 presenting companies are aiming for the next stage of business growth, and by providing an environment for direct exchange with decision-makers in the Tokyo area, we seek to expand possibilities for collaboration and business opportunities.
