JETRO Global Open Innovation Program 2023（GOI2023）is a program to support foreign companies in the healthcare and digital field that have a strong intention to invest in Japan, on the one hand, and local governments in Japan that want to draw investment into their communities, on the other. In addition, this program is open to foreign companies that wish not only to establish a base but also to network and do business together with Japanese academia and companies with advanced technologies.
