Jetro Invites Western Incubators to Kyoto for Decarbonization and Semiconductor Tech
Kyoto, Japan – February 18, 2025 – The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) has announced that it will invite a group of leading incubators from Europe and the United States to Kyoto to showcase the city’s strengths in decarbonization and semiconductor technologies.
The delegation, which will visit Kyoto from March 6 to 10, will include representatives from some of the world’s most prestigious incubators, including Y Combinator, Techstars, and Station F.
During their visit, the incubators will meet with Kyoto-based startups, research institutions, and government officials to learn about the city’s innovative ecosystem. They will also visit key facilities, such as the Kyoto Research Park and the Kyoto Semiconductor Cluster, to gain insights into the city’s capabilities in these critical areas.
“Kyoto has emerged as a global leader in decarbonization and semiconductor technology,” said JETRO President Nobuhiko Sasaki. “We are excited to bring these Western incubators to Kyoto to showcase the city’s strengths and explore potential collaborations.”
The visit is part of JETRO’s ongoing efforts to promote innovation and investment in Japan. By connecting Western incubators with Kyoto’s tech ecosystem, JETRO aims to foster cross-border partnerships and accelerate the development of new technologies.
Kyoto has been at the forefront of innovation for centuries. The city is home to some of the world’s leading universities and research institutions, including Kyoto University and the RIKEN research institute. In recent years, Kyoto has also become a hub for startups, thanks to its supportive business environment and access to capital.
The city’s strengths in decarbonization and semiconductor technology are particularly notable. Kyoto has set ambitious goals for reducing its greenhouse gas emissions, and it is home to a number of leading clean energy companies. The city is also a major center for semiconductor research and development, and it is home to some of the world’s largest chipmakers.
JETRO’s invitation to Western incubators is a testament to Kyoto’s growing reputation as a global innovation hub.
