Mirai Works Inc. selected as a program partner for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's TOKYO SUTEAM (General Course)

Mirai Works Inc. announced that it had been selected as a program partner for the Tokyo Metropolitan Government's TOKYO SUTEAM (General Course). At the same time, it is launching TOKYO Global Team-Up, a program supporting overseas expansion, subtitled "A program for Tokyo-based startups to expand into the United States and Southeast Asia through the sharing of professional talent," and will begin accepting applications from eligible startups on 2 November.

The program aims to address the shortage of talent that is a barrier to overseas expansion by providing professionals with overseas business experience at no charge through a talent-sharing model, with ongoing support and outsourced execution of business activities. In cooperation with domestic and international partner companies, it will incorporate in-person business meetings in local markets and continuing pitch opportunities, with the aim of creating a talent-circulation ecosystem that can operate independently with private-sector funding after the support ends.

The program is expected to select 10 companies, with growth support also provided separately to up to 30 companies. Details including the application period, screening schedule and expected start of matching have been announced, and the program is expected to move into the execution phase in cooperation with 佐世や and relevant institutions.

This initiative is aligned with TOKYO SUTEAM's efforts to expand the base of unicorn companies while accelerating the expansion of Tokyo-based startups into overseas markets. Further information on the program's background, specific operating structure and expanded collaboration with partners is expected to be announced in due course.
