We will be holding the project activity presentation "QWS Stage #24"!
SHIBUYA QWS is a members-only co-creation facility that creates seeds that lead to social value.
The 24th QWS Challenge invited public submissions for projects based on the theme of "questions that transcend borders," and selected 10 projects.
Starting with the 24th QWS Challenge, each project at QWS is based on a question, and the results of their activities over the past three months will be presented on the QWS Stage. On the day, in addition to three-minute pitches from project members, keynote talks by guests will also be held, providing an opportunity to enjoy a time that will stimulate your senses about 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.
