ROCKET PITCH NIGHT, which welcomed over 100 startups and more than 1,000 participants in May 2025, has so far brought together around 850 startups and over 10,000 audience members. This time, it will be held as a special edition of Venture Café Fukuoka’s “Thursday Gathering,” launched last November! We are expecting up to 40 presenters and over 400 participants.
This event is open to everyone—not just university students or researchers. Startups, early-stage entrepreneurs, NPOs, and corporate innovation teams are all welcome to apply. Through 3-minute pitches and interactions with a diverse group of participants, this is an opportunity to explore and shape the future. We look forward to challengers from not only the Kansai region but from across Japan and around the world.
