Shibuya Local Lab will be holding its second event!
We will be holding a second event, bringing together members who work across Shibuya and the local community.
I knew that the members were all active locally, but what exactly do they do?

At this event, 10 active local players will take to the stage and give short 3-minute pitches on a wide variety of businesses and activities, including architecture, urban development, products, and inbound tourism!

Additionally, as the Shibuya Local Lab, the project aims to connect the culture, knowledge, and networks unique to each region's activities in a cross-sectional manner, in order to create sustainable local projects.

With the aim of creating such a community, we will be holding our second event.

Anyone who is not active at SHIBUYA QWS can participate, so please come along.

■ Scenes from the previous pitch event

Fifteen players based in Shibuya but active locally gathered together and gave three-minute presentations about their activities!

A diverse group of players from a wide range of fields and areas of activity came together and spent a very intense time sharing their passion and activities on the heated pitch.
