ABOUT

SLURP UP THE FUTURE

Drink up the future created by RAMEN TECH 2025!

RAMEN TECH (Revolutionizing Asia: Merging Ecosystems & Networks ? Tech) is a festival of innovation that starts in Fukuoka and spreads across Asia and the world?just as ramen traveled from the continent to Japan, evolving uniquely in Fukuoka into tonkotsu ramen before spreading globally.
At RAMEN TECH - Global Summit -, startups, engineers, investors, and ecosystem builders from around the world come together in one place. Just like ramen soup, where various ingredients blend to create a one-of-a-kind flavor, seeds of technology and startups meet, mix, and mature here in Fukuoka, shaping new technologies, creative ideas, and impactful innovations that can transform Japan and the world.
Now, let’s slurp up the future, in RAMEN TECH 2025!

RAMEN TECH - Global Summit - will be held within RAMEN TECH.
