Tokoshié Participated in the X-HUB TOKYO “OUTBOUND PROGRAM” Boston Course
Tokoshié Inc. was selected for the Boston Course of the “X-HUB TOKYO GLOBAL STARTUP ACCELERATOR OUTBOUND PROGRAM,” an overseas expansion support program organized by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and operated by JETRO. We participated in both the domestic boot camp held from August 31 to September 3, 2026, and the on-site program held in Boston, United States, from September 28 to October 2.
The Boston Course is designed to support AI startups seeking to enter the North American market and expand their sales channels. In collaboration with local accelerator QUAY Acceleration, the program supports companies in developing their U.S. business through mentoring, market validation, business matching, and pitching opportunities.
During the domestic boot camp, we refined our business strategy and pitch for the North American market, conducted market validation, and spent approximately one month preparing for the on-site program in Boston.
In Boston, we participated in Demo Day at Venture Lane, a startup hub in the city, where we presented Ignite0, our AI-powered 3D design service, as well as our plans for future business expansion in the United States.
We also discussed potential collaboration opportunities with research and educational institutions including Boston University, Harvard University, and MIT, while exploring possible partnerships through conversations with local companies and members of the startup ecosystem.
At Demo Day, we engaged with investors, entrepreneurs, mentors, and other members of Boston’s startup community. Through these conversations, we received valuable feedback on Ignite0 and developed new connections and introductions to potential customers, partners, and investors.
Through this program, we were able to advance discussions around concrete collaboration and partnership opportunities for our business expansion in North America. We will continue to leverage the insights and network gained through the program to further accelerate the growth of Ignite0 across the North American market.
