TechGALA 2025 - Aichi's First International Startup Conference
Join us 4-6 February 2025 to discover Aichi's international, vibrant startup ecosystem.
TechGALA, Nagoya's first major startup event, is fast approaching! From February 4-6 2025, TechGALA will open its doors to share Nagoya's business culture of innovation within a system with the world. Read on for more information about this exciting event!
TechGALA will be based mainly out of Chunichi Hall and Conference Center, but events will be held at several other locations around the Sakae and Tsurumai neighborhoods - including Nagoya Innovator's Garage and the new STATION Ai campus. Check out the map below for more details:
Almost a hundred speakers will be in attendance, including Professor Emori Seita from Tokyo University's Institute for Future Initiatives, Futurist Peter Swain, Chief Sustainability Officer at Toyota Motor Corporation Yumi Otsuka, and artist/writer/non-architect/drag queen Vivienne Sato.
In addition to speakers from the business and academic world, representatives from major corporations and financial institutions will be in attendance as sponsors. Toyota Connected Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Ltd, Google Cloud, and JR Central are just some of the august names in attendance.
All of our speakers, ambassadors, and representatives from the corporate world bring their own experience and expertise to the unique conditions of Nagoya and the rest of Japan. In the words of Jett Glozier from Sound Diplomacy: "I am excited to be speaking at TechGALA in Nagoya, where I will moderate a panel called 'Will the cities of the future become utopias or dystopias?' Drawing on my experience in music, culture, city policy, and urban regeneration with Sound Diplomacy, I look forward to exploring how these elements can shape sustainable and inclusive urban landscapes. I am particularly eager to learn how these ideas might apply to the unique challenges facing Japanese cities."
But speakers are not the only thing on the cards for TechGALA - we will also be hosting a slew of events over the jam-packed two days. The afternoon of February 5th sees Chunichi Hall hosting the TechGALA Global Startup Showcase pitch contest, where startups duke it out for the one-million yen purse.
Contestants will pitch their early-stage company in English within one of the five themes of Mobility, Sustainable Environment, Materials, Life Sciences, and Advanced Technology. They will be evaluated by our esteemed panel of judges:
