Integrate or the Global Acceleration program fosters B2B startups in their growth/maturity phase. Ideally, these are startups with a focus on global markets who have demonstrable traction, funding, and market potential.
Shortlisted participants get to travel to different parts of the world, experience the world’s top ecosystems – Silicon Valley, UK, Europe, and South East Asia – and engage with other startups, enterprise giants, corporates, VCs, and influencers who shape the industry.
NASSCOM has played a key role in curating and nurturing the Indian startup ecosystem, that harbours close to 24 unicorns and 9300 startups. There are a large number of these startups that are entering the growth phase and want to raise capital to support themselves. On the other hand, companies and institutions from Japan have been long standing partners in India’s growth story and want to continue participating actively in the Indian startup ecosystem.
NASSCOM in partnership with the Embassy of India, Tokyo have created the Japan VC Connect, the global capital access initiative to support Indian Startups looking to raise growth capital. The initiative connects the Indian tech startup ecosystem with the venture capital community in Japan.
