Ichigo Bloom is now an official partner of Tokyo Innovation Base

Ichigo Bloom is now an official partner of Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB), the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s hub for startups, founders, and the wider entrepreneurship ecosystem in the capital.

We’ve had a connection to TiB for a while. We’ve spoken there at conferences organized by friends like We Are The Impact, and used the space to run a Climate Fresk facilitator training in November 2024 and a pre-launch session of the Gender Equity Collage earlier this year. Becoming an official partner was a natural next step.

A quick word on what TiB is

Tokyo Innovation Base, located in Marunouchi, is a Tokyo Metropolitan Government initiative designed to be a node for entrepreneurship and innovation. It supports startups, aspiring founders, investors, and the wider ecosystem around them, with event spaces, programming, and a growing community of partners.

What we’re planning

We want to organize regular open workshops at TiB, for the TiB community and the general public. Science-based, collaborative, bilingual. The TiB audience is a particularly relevant one for us: startups and founders face growing pressure to understand sustainability, from investors, regulators, and the market, and our workshops offer a practical, collective way into that complexity. For investors, the same applies. A grounded understanding of the challenges your portfolio companies are navigating changes the quality of the conversations you can have.

Part of a growing network

TiB joins our list of official organizational partnerships, alongside organizations like GLIN Impact Capital and Sport For Smile. We’re glad to be part of the TiB community in a more formal way, and looking forward to the sessions ahead.
