TechGALA 2025 - Aichi's First International Startup Conference

Join us 4-6 February 2025 to discover Aichi's international, vibrant startup
ecosystem.

NAGOYA, JAPAN / ACCESSWIRE / December 17, 2024 / TechGALA, Nagoya's first
major startup event, is fast approaching! From February 4-6 2025, TechGALA
will open its doors to share Nagoya's business culture of innovation within a
system with the world. Read on for more information about this exciting event!

TechGALA will be based mainly out of Chunichi Hall and Conference Center, but
events will be held at several other locations around the Sakae and Tsurumai
neighborhoods - including Nagoya Innovator's Garage and the new STATION Ai
campus. Check out the map below for more details:

Almost a hundred speakers will be in attendance, including Professor Emori
Seita from Tokyo University's Institute for Future Initiatives, Futurist Peter
Swain, Chief Sustainability Officer at Toyota Motor Corporation Yumi Otsuka,
and artist/writer/non-architect/drag queen Vivienne Sato.

In addition to speakers from the business and academic world, representatives
from major corporations and financial institutions will be in attendance as
sponsors. Toyota Connected Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd, Google Cloud, and
JR Central are just some of the august names in attendance.

All of our speakers, ambassadors, and representatives from the corporate world
bring their own experience and expertise to the unique conditions of Nagoya
and the rest of Japan. In the words of Jett Glozier from Sound Diplomacy: "I
am excited to be speaking at TechGALA in Nagoya, where I will moderate a panel
called 'Will the cities of the future become utopias or dystopias?' Drawing on
my experience in music, culture, city policy, and urban regeneration with
Sound Diplomacy, I look forward to exploring how these elements can shape
sustainable and inclusive urban landscapes. I am particularly eager to learn
how these ideas might apply to the unique challenges facing Japanese cities."

But speakers are not the only thing on the cards for TechGALA - we will also
be hosting a slew of events over the jam-packed two days. The afternoon of
February 5th sees Chunichi Hall hosting the TechGALA Global Startup Showcase
pitch contest, where startups duke it out for the one-million yen purse.

Contestants will pitch their early-stage company in English within one of the
five themes of Mobility, Sustainable Environment, Materials, Life Sciences,
and Advanced Technology. They will be evaluated by our esteemed panel of
judges:
