The Mentoring & Pitch Project, jointly organized by Shibuya Ward, EY Japan, and the Pasona Group, has been implementing a development program targeting female entrepreneurs in the seed to middle stages, with three pillars: study sessions, acceleration, and consultation meetings.Applications were accepted starting in October 2021, and after a selection process, nine teams were selected in December. Each team has been participating in discussions with mentors, refining their business plans, and attending business matching sessions and study sessions. The final online pitch event will be held on March 23, 2022.On the day of the event, we will also have guest commentators join us. We hope you will take the opportunity to listen to the presentations of the female entrepreneurs who have refined their business plans, and that this event will serve as a starting point for collaboration and provide valuable advice for business expansion. We look forward to your participation.
