Fukuoka will host Kyushu’s largest startup pitch event, “Rocket Pitch Night FUKUOKA,” on December 11 at the One Fukuoka Building (Tenjin). Organized by Venture Café Fukuoka, the event will bring together up to 40 startups, students, and researchers from across Japan to present business ideas in just three minutes with three slides, following a format developed by Babson College in the U.S. Participants will compete across roughly five categories—such as AI, environment and energy, and creative industries—with judges and audience members voting to select winners. Each category’s top presenter will receive free use of CIC’s co-working office located in the same building. The event, expected to draw more than 350 attendees, aims to connect emerging entrepreneurs with investors and strengthen Fukuoka’s growing startup ecosystem. Source: Venture Café Fukuoka / Facebook
