Japan Opens Doors to Global Capital at Global Startup EXPO 2026

From October 5 to 7, 2026, Osaka will host the Global Startup EXPO 2026, a government-backed initiative designed to link overseas venture capital firms with Japan's burgeoning deep tech sector. Organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the event aims to translate early-stage breakthroughs into sustainable industrial growth.

The expo moves beyond standard trade show dynamics by focusing on the social implementation of technology. Under the theme "Deeptech - from breakthrough to industry," officials are prioritizing the transition of research into market-ready products. The event serves as a strategic gateway for international investors to engage with Japan’s J-Startup program participants and National Startup Award winners, facilitating syndication and long-term industrial partnerships.

Participants will navigate a three-stage program centered on discovery, engagement, and actionable business development. High-profile international investors, including Andreessen Horowitz, New Enterprise Associates, and Atomico, are confirmed to attend. By bringing together corporate venture capital funds and institutional investors, the ministry seeks to create a functional ecosystem where capital meets specific industrial needs, turning networking opportunities into concrete investment and collaborative projects across the region.
