OUTLINE
Japan has embraced foreign cultures and technologies and has developed them to fit in with its own set of values.
This creative and flexible attitude has enriched Japan's economy and culture and is the driving force behind its expansion around the world.
In particular, Fukuoka, with its 2,000-year history, has long served as a window for international exchange as a gateway connecting Asia and Japan, absorbing new cultures and technologies, and constantly evolving its city and culture through people-to-people exchanges. The unique and innovative traditions and culture built through this long history of exchange are still alive today.
"RAMEN - Revolutionizing Asia: Merging Ecosystems & Networks - Tech" is a place where startups, engineers, investors and ecosystem builders from around the world can come together and interact to create innovation by taking full advantage of Fukuoka's entrepreneurial and exchange-oriented nature.
Just as ramen introduced from the continent evolved uniquely in Fukuoka and spread around the world as Tonkotsu ramen, we aim to create new value and innovation through encounters in Fukuoka that will spread globally.
The exchange of knowledge, skills, and vision will be the catalyst for the creation of new possibilities for the future.
Let's all savor together the ideas for the future that will come from these new encounters and exchanges!
