Summary
The 49th YOKOHAMA CONNÉCT marks the gathering's second anniversary. It is held at TECH HUB YOKOHAMA in the Yokohama Landmark Tower in Minato Mirai, with online viewing available. Starting this month, session slots are shortened from 60 to 45 minutes so each event offers four sessions instead of three.
The program includes a bilingual orientation for first-time attendees, a Japanese session on Physical AI and new opportunities from combining startups with manufacturers (tentative), a Japanese session on Yokohama's innovation ecosystem three years from now (tentative), and GLOBAL STARTUP PITCH, where up to six companies pitch in English for five minutes each. A simultaneous text translation tool is provided for all sessions.
