Blackbox Launches as a Global Media Outlet Spotlighting Japanese Startups and Ecosystems

TOKYO, May 31, 2023 (VSNewsNetwork.com) - Blackbox, the pioneering media outlet dedicated to providing comprehensive information on the Japanese startup landscape, officially announces its launch. In collaboration with Queue, Inc., and commissioned by Shibuya-ku's Startup Support Project, Blackbox aims to bridge the gap between international startup stakeholders and the vibrant Japanese startup ecosystem.

Headquartered in Shibuya-ku, Tokyo, Japan, Queue, Inc. already offers SUNRYSE, a database connecting Japanese companies' Business Development Departments with startups worldwide. With the introduction of Blackbox, this flow of information is expanded to enable a two-way street, sharing valuable insights on current Japanese startups with stakeholders across the globe.

Blackbox is dedicated to transparently and impartially communicating the Japanese startup scene to a worldwide audience.

Japan's tech industry has seen significant efforts from both public and private entities to revitalize the startup ecosystem. However, these developments often remain unknown outside the country's borders. Blackbox aims to raise awareness about the dynamic Japanese startup landscape and the opportunities it presents. By providing startup news and stories in English, Blackbox seeks to promote startup-related initiatives in Japan, attract international founders, startups, and investment, and contribute to the global startup community.

Shibuya Startup Support is a project initiated by Shibuya City to foster international startups and entrepreneurs. Acting as a concierge service, it offers comprehensive support for launching and growing businesses in Shibuya City. The initiative assists with visa acquisition, office space procurement, housing arrangements, bank loans, social implementation advice, community engagement, and other support programs for domestic and foreign entrepreneurs.

Recognizing the lack of English-language media coverage on the local startup scene, Shibuya City initiated the establishment of a media outlet to disseminate Japanese startup information to the world. The goal is to showcase Japan's potential, attract foreign talent and investment, and further accelerate the internationalization of the startup industry, particularly in Shibuya.
