We will be holding the project activity presentation "QWS Stage #21"!
SHIBUYA QWS is a members-only co-creation facility that creates seeds that lead to social value.
We called for public submissions on the theme of "Questions that Transcend Borders," and selected 13 projects for the 21st QWS Challenge.
Each project active at QWS, including the 21st QWS Challenge class, is based on a question, and will present the results of their activities over the course of three months on the QWS Stage. On the day, in addition to three-minute pitches from project members, guests will give keynote talks, providing an opportunity to stimulate your sense of questions.
Please join us on stage to gather together everyone who is helping to create SHIBUYA QWS.

What is the QWS Stage?
This is a forum for players working on value creation at QWS to present the "seeds of possibility" born from "questions." A diverse range of professionals gather to present their questions, aiming to discover the next possibilities for the project.
