Pitching Stars - Global Startup Night | BIO JAPAN 2026 WEEK

Join us during BioJapan 2026 for a global networking event bringing together startups from life science ecosystems across France, Germany, Spain, Switzerland, Japan, and beyond.

The event will feature pitches from 11 international life science startups to Japan-based VCs, followed by opportunities for founders, investors, pharma companies, and ecosystem leaders from around the world to connect in a casual setting. We’re also expecting around 10 booths from companies and organizations across the global life science ecosystem.

🍸 We are also planning fun activities during the networking session to make it even easier to meet new people. Whether you join us for the pitches or come by for Networking afterward, we’d love to have you with us. Come join us and make new connections during BioJapan Week!
