Osaka, 25 February 2020 – Demo Day, the closing event for the Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka program, offers the nine startups who joined the program the opportunity to showcase their work in Japan. Due to the pandemic, this year’s Scale Osaka program and Demo Day have moved online, and allows all the startups to share their insights and experiences from throughout the program and introduce their PoCs that they have been working on.
After attracting over 550 unique applications to the program, nine startups were selected to work with the forward-thinking Japanese partner companies and have spent their time in the 12-week remote program, making headway with their market entry and building PoCs within the Japanese market.
The Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka Demo Day introduces these companies, their Japan strategy, and their pitches towards investors and potential future partners, ready to kickstart their next steps within the Japanese market.

Joshua Flannery, Managing Director, Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka, said:
“This cycle of our program saw our key purposes realised; tangible business outcomes have justified some of our startups’ intentions to establish a new subsidiary in Japan, an increasing number of projects have delivered measurable social impact and Osaka and Japan has been elevated as a great place for foreign entrepreneurs to do business. The unique way our seven corporate partners have collaborated with each other and with us during the program has proved again the unique opportunity we have here in Osaka for mature startups serious about entering one of the world’s largest markets, Japan”.
