EDCON Side Event: Shibuya Networking Party

On July 31 after EDCON closed, we held an EDCON side event in collaboration with SSS’ Snack & Connect event, which takes place every Wednesday at 4 PM at Shibuya Bridge. The event was co-hosted with Yokohama City and STARTUP HOKKAIDO, with Furious Green, Takeoff Tokyo, and Tokyo Startup Lunch Club participating as event partners. The event brought together Web3-related startups and ecosystem builders from around the world who had participated in EDCON 2024, along with SSS visa holders and many domestic startups based in Shibuya.
