While in Yokohama, you can get started online from legendary entrepreneurs on the West Coast of the United States.

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.
The City of Yokohama and the Kihara Memorial Yokohama Life Science Foundation will collaborate with the CONNECT with San Diego, an entrepreneur support organization with a track record of supporting more than 3,000 startups since its establishment in San Diego, USA.
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 carrying out this program, we will utilize the web conference system and e-mail, so even though there are restrictions on going out due to COVID-19 infection, mentoring by a proven mentor from San Diego, United States.
Through this initiative, Yokohama City will promote support for small and medium-sized enterprises and venture companies to realize "Innovation City Yokohama".
