Connect, collaborate, and celebrate the season with Keizai Silicon Valley!
Sponsored by Procopio, our upcoming Halloween Happy Hour at Jinsho Restaurant in Palo Alto is your chance to expand your professional network in a fun, relaxed environment.
Cleantech startups looking for investment face challenges in the current US market. Japanese corporate venture capital companies (CVCs) represent one alternative as many such CVCs are still active in the cleantech sector. Co-organized between Keizai Silicon Valley and the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO), with support from the 4WARD San Francisco, Berkeley & Bay Area Climate Group, Informal Spaces – Oakland, JETRO San Francisco and the UC Berkeley Strauch Cleantech to Market (C2M) Program, the event will be held in conjunction with San Francisco Climate Week and will facilitate matchmaking between Japanese CVCs active in cleantech investment to interested startups.
Join us for a Spooktacular Halloween Happy Hour hosted by Keizai Silicon Valley at the Steins Beer Garden in downtown Mountain View! This festive gathering, generously sponsored by Procopio, promises to be an exciting opportunity to connect with like-minded professionals, share innovative ideas, and expand your network in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.
While costumes are optional, we highly encourage everyone to embrace the Halloween spirit and come dressed to impress! Prizes will be awarded for the best costumes, so get creative and let your imagination run wild!
