It was an honour to host a delegation of investors and corporate executives from Japan at VivaTech this week. Japan was selected as the Country of the Year for VivaTech 2024.

Part of the festivities included the Global50 event at Station F, a networking and pitch session with 16 European startups and scale-ups innovating in the domains of AI, ClimateTech, and DeepTech. Each of them has an ambition to scale in the Japanese market.

Deep bow of gratitude to my colleagues Mai Iida and Takumi Mannen for your organizational heroics ! And a special thank you to our corporate sponsors for your support: 三井不動産, 戸田建設株式会社, addlight Inc.、電通, Finesse Ventures Co., Section L, CIC Tokyo, Agenium, Charlotte Bio, Bridge, 日経
