TechBIZKON X: LifeTECH+ Connecting European and Japanese Startup-Ecosystems

9 October 2026, Tokyo, Japan
This October, TechBIZKON celebrates a remarkable milestone: its 10th anniversary edition – TechBIZKON X: LifeTECH+, hosted once again in Tokyo, one of Asia’s most dynamic tech ecosystems. Since its founding in 2017, TechBIZKON has grown into a premier cross border startup event, building a powerful innovation bridge between Europe and Japan.
 
Over the past decade, TechBIZKON has spotlighted cutting-edge solutions across sectors such as AI, Digital Health, Smart Factory, GreenTech, Mobility, Microelectronics, AgriTech, and Green Transformation. Each edition teams up with a new Japanese accelerator/hub and showcases Tokyo’s newest innovation hotspots, ensuring a fresh, forward-looking experience every year. Past editions have gathered 30+ startups per year, attracted hundreds of corporate visitors, and featured high-level panels, pitch contests, 1on1 meetings, and hybrid participation formats—all designed to maximize real business impact. 
TechBIZKON X: LifeTECH+ will elevate this momentum with a special focus on technologies shaping the future of life: health, wellbeing, longevity, quality of living, medtech, biotech, disability inclusion, and cross industry digital innovation. European and Japanese startups will demonstrate their most advanced solutions, while investors, corporates, accelerators, and innovation agencies engage in curated matchmaking and hands-on collaboration. 
For European startups and scaleups, TechBIZKON X is a unique gateway to Japan — one of the world’s most innovation-hungry and opportunity-rich markets. For investors and corporates, it is the ideal platform to scout new technologies, build partnerships, and access multi-country deal flow from Austria, Belgium, Germany, Japan, and beyond.

The organizers are inviting interested startups to join them this October in Tokyo and become part of a decade-long strong community that is redefining the future of Europe-Asia tech collaboration.
The TechBIZKON X is organized by ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Tokyo, Flanders Investment & Trade Tokyo, the German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan, Swissnex in Japan, and Plug and Play Japan.
