Japan continues to emerge as one of the world's most important markets for blockchain, digital assets, and next-generation technologies. By combining AWAJ's international network with TIB's innovation infrastructure, both organizations aim to accelerate startup growth and support Japan's position as a leading destination for global innovation.

Through initiatives such as Web3 Salon, AWAJ provides founders, developers, investors, and industry leaders with a platform to connect, collaborate, and scale internationally. Startups gain access to market insights, institutional relationships, regulatory knowledge, and cross-border business opportunities that help them expand beyond domestic markets.
