While staying in Yokohama, you can get started with Legend entrepreneurs on the West Coast of the United States!

　San Diego, USA is one of the leading start-up support regions in the United States, with annual venture capital investment of over 160 billion yen. In collaboration with CONNECT, an entrepreneur support organization that has a track record of supporting more than 3,000 startups since its establishment in San Diego, USA, we will implement a program to foster and support small and medium-sized businesses in the life sciences field.
　Companies participating in this program will hone their pitch skills through hands-on mentoring so that they can make a highly appealing pitch on their products and services. In addition, upon completion of the program, CONNECT will be awarded a certificate of completion, and together with companies that have completed the original program in San Diego, they will be on stage at BioJapan2019, one of the largest partnering event in Asia, BioJapan 2019, and will be able to appeal to the world.
　Through this initiative, Yokohama City will promote support for small and medium-sized venture companies to realize "Innovation City, Yokohama".
