About Tokyo Startups

Tokyo is one of the largest metropolises in the world. Home to companies like Sony, Toyota, and Nintendo, the global image of Tokyo screams technology. With that reputation, the startup scene in the city is growing like it never has before.

The Government of Japan has also placed their bets in startups to help strengthen the national economy, and even offer programs to help startups in Tokyo get off the ground.

In a country with a declining birth rate, startups can not only strengthen the Japanese economy, but also attract a foreign workforce and bring new life to the country.

HackerNoon is proud to honor these Japanese startups helping to make a positive impact.
