Startup Support

OIST promotes entrepreneurship to advance high-growth venture creation in Okinawa. We organize seminars and workshops to strengthen networks and stimulate entrepreneurial activities. Beyond these promotional events, we also directly support promising projects stemming from OIST research. We also provide extensive support to startups through programs, events, facilities and services including the OIST Innovation Accelerator and OIST Innovation Incubator. We support and recruit early stage startups with innovative technologies aiming to solve global challenges.
