概要 | Descriptions：
Tokyo has emerged as an increasingly dynamic innovation hub, attracting entrepreneurs, investors, and ecosystem builders from around the world. But how does its innovation ecosystem actually look through the eyes of international entrepreneurs who are building businesses and communities here?
In this session, we welcome two long-time collaborators of Venture Café Tokyo, Erdinc from Founder Institute Japan / Openfor and Fabien from HirePlanner.com, to explore Tokyo's innovation ecosystem from a global perspective.
Drawing on their experiences as entrepreneurs and ecosystem builders, we will discuss what makes Tokyo unique, where it holds competitive advantages, and what challenges still need to be addressed to become a truly globally connected innovation hub.
Both speakers have also played key roles in the past two editions of Venture Café Global Gathering, organizing programs that brought together diverse communities and created new opportunities for collaboration.
As Global Gathering evolves into Tokyo Innovation Week 2027, we will explore what this expansion means for Tokyo's innovation ecosystem and how international collaboration can help unlock its next stage of growth.
Join us for an open and candid conversation about Tokyo's strengths, challenges, and opportunities — and how we can collectively shape its future.
