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!"
