You can get guidance from legendary entrepreneurs on the west coast of the United States while you are in Yokohama!

　San Diego, USA, is one of the leading startup-supported regions in the United States with annual venture capital investment of more than 160 billion yen. In collaboration with CONNECT, an entrepreneur support organization with 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 enterprises and venture companies in the life sciences field.
　Companies participating in this program will improve their pitch skills through practical mentoring so that they can make a highly appealing pitch on their products and services. In addition, at the time of completion of the program, CONNECT will be awarded a certificate of completion of the program, and together with companies that have completed the original program in San Diego, at BioJapan 2019, one of Asia's largest partnering events, will be on stage to appeal to the world.
　Through this initiative, Yokohama City will promote support for small and medium-sized enterprises and venture companies to realize "Innovation City Yokohama".
