Building on the success of 2025 and 2026, Venture Café’s Global Gathering returns to Tokyo in February 2027.

Centered around the theme of Ecosystems Together, the event convenes innovators from ecosystems around the world to discover the Tokyo ecosystem, forge powerful connections, and showcase groundbreaking ideas.

As the pillar of the Tokyo Innovation Week, Venture Café teams will be applying years of first-hand experience as Innovation Ecosystem Activators locally, to maximize the impact of ecosystems converging globally.

Through a dynamic mix of programs, including keynote sessions, immersive workshops, and curated networking, Global Gathering fosters deep, cross-border collaboration and empowers meaningful, measurable outcomes. Most importantly, the event is free and open to everyone interested in and connected to Tokyo’s innovation ecosystem.
