KGAP+ Global Startup Accelerator for Japan and International Markets

At the request of ATR, Global Digital MOJO’s Osaka office led the design and execution of the Keihanna Global Acceleration Programme Plus. KGAP+ is a new International Accelerator programme which brings Japanese and International business together. The goal of the programme is to lead companies to create a proof of concept demonstrator, as well as find new investment and enabling partners in Japan and overseas.
In its first year, the programme welcomed 21 international and Japanese companies to follow two intensive 3 months O2O acceleration programmes. Key results of the programmes were that 5 companies found POC partners in Japan, 2 companies have established operations in Japan. The programme curated by MOJO incorporated live events and online activities. MOJO also recruited over 20 international mentors and presenters to give invaluable advice to startups. Two phases culminated in Demo Days at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona and the Kansai Innovation Stream in Osaka.
