SHIBUYA QWS, a co-creation and innovation hub operated by Shibuya Scramble Square, has announced new international collaboration agreements with leading startup support organizations in Finland and South Korea. The initiative is designed to expand overseas market access for startups and companies based at SHIBUYA QWS, while strengthening links between Asia and Northern Europe’s innovation ecosystems.

The agreements establish a structured cooperation framework that enables reciprocal member introductions, shared use of facilities, and the joint organization of events and exchange programs. By formalizing these partnerships, SHIBUYA QWS aims to provide more consistent cross-border support for startups seeking international growth, rather than relying on ad hoc overseas connections.

These partnerships are expected to lower barriers for Japanese startups entering overseas markets, while supporting foreign startups looking to establish a presence in Japan.
