Where Ordinary People make Extraordinary Impact.

We're  building Japan's most inclusive tech & talent pipeline, supporting startups and entrepreneurs at all stages, with a focus on diversity, equity and inclusion. Our vision is to co-create the best place to start and build startups, through a founder-centric approach.

We make corporate innovation easier, but we are not just another matchmaking firm.

We work with unique networks of bilingual cross-border, cross-cultural experts and scientists to provide unique insights into Japanese companies' innovation activities to achieve optimal impact.

For Governments

We support the planning and implementation of your startup programs and ecosystem initiatives. Our approach is based on direct experience employed in government, university and private sector leadership roles both internationally and in Japan.  In this way, we can enable your ecosystem members to achieve extraordinary impact. 

For Universities

We believe in the power of an entrepreneurial mindset and confidence where we invest time and resources in the next generation of innovators that will make an impact. Our team has over 6 years of direct experience building and growing successful university startup programs and provides training to top Japanese universities in best practices for student startup mentoring.

We co-create with our partners

We work with leading companies, universities and governments in Japan and from across the globe.

Joining the Kobe Startup Hub has elevated my venture’s presence in Japan by opening doors to mentors, investors, and a supportive community of entrepreneurs from all walks of life.

“Hitachi Australia decided to partner with Innovation Dojo to deliver the Hitachi Social Innovation Hackathon on 10th and 11th November 2018. Since it was our first time hosting a Hackathon, Innovation Dojo provided us with the expertise and knowledge to create such an event, working collaboratively alongside our key stakeholders to formulate three challenges in the areas of Agriculture, Mining and Smart Cities in Social Innovation.

The team at Innovation Dojo were professional, friendly and helpful throughout the entire process and helped to create a successful event which received very positive feedback. It was a pleasure working with Innovation Dojo and we would highly recommend them!"
