The course is held in Tokyo and is not an overseas employment program5
This course is intended for entrepreneurs who are in the preparatory stages of overseas expansion and offers support for establishing a business presence in Toronto, Canada, which is slowly becoming the AI startup capital of the world.
Toronto is both the capital of the province of Ontario and Canada’s largest city. Additionally, its government sets large portions of its budget aside for the promotion of science and technology while fostering talented people who will bring about innovation and technological advancement. It is no surprise then that Toronto came to be known as a global AI hub with an ecosystem that attracts startups and engineers.
In light of the above, we have invited accelerators and venture capitalists from Toronto and the surrounding Ontario area to Tokyo so that the program participants can receive overseas expansion feedback tailored to their business fields and growth stages. At the same time, we will actively help the participants kickstart their expansion by providing business matching services which will connect them with local enterprises. （Matching Program) In addition, at the beginning of the program, participants will receive support from experts, including legal advice necessary for overseas expansion, as well as a refresher course in English communication (Preliminary Support Program)
