OUR THEME FOR 2023 IS: "Tech4Good"
 
 
WHY Tech4Good?
Tech4Good was established as our Meet & Connect theme as we believe in the power of creative technologies in addressing tomorrow's biggest challenges. Human abilities to imagine, innovate, research and undertake new challenges are crucial drivers of progress, and we aim at supporting startups upholding these values, as well as having a positive impact.
Tech4Good also entails partnering with leading multinational corporations to move forward towards Social Development Goals. This is why our Meet & Connect gathers a wealth of participants and corporate stakeholders wishing to support initiatives that do not only feature technological solutions, but also have social change and sustainability at their core.
 
As we open the 6th edition of Meet & Connect, the CCIFJ seeks this year again to support the development of entrepreneurship in France and Japan, and to distinguish 5 disruptive startups with a significant impact through our corporate Awards!
 
Discover them below!
