Highlighting Fukuoka’s Strengths Through Engaging Sessions!

On May 9, Fukuoka City representatives participated in two sessions at the All Japan Ecosystem Area.

Ryo Osera, CEO of yugyo inc., which operates Colive Fukuoka, and Shun Ono from Global Business Support (Fukuoka City), among others, took the stage.
As startup support initiatives continue to expand across Japan and globally, Fukuoka City is entering the next phase of its evolution! Over the past decade, it has led the way as Japan’s premier startup city, cultivating a vibrant global community. The speakers shared their unique perspectives, passionately discussing not only the city’s thriving business environment but also its appeal as a place to live and its strong community connections.

Qin Wan, CEO of Chiral Ltd., who established his company in Fukuoka in 2021 through the Startup Visa program, spoke about the city’s seamless, one-stop support system for foreign entrepreneurs - likening it to the convenience of a Japanese convenience store. He encouraged aspiring founders to take full advantage of Fukuoka’s extensive support network without hesitation.
