Global Night — Official Networking Event of Global Startup EXPO & Tech Osaka Summit

Celebrating the power of collaboration by bringing together founders, investors, corporates, ecosystem builders, and global communities from Japan, and beyond. As Tech Osaka Summit and Global Startup EXPO bring the world's innovation ecosystem to Osaka, Global Night serves as the official networking event connecting participants beyond the conference halls. Join us on October 5 at TIME OUT Market Osaka, located in Grand Green Osaka, for an evening where international visitors and Japan's startup ecosystem come together in an open and welcoming atmosphere. Designed as a casual gathering for the global innovation community, Global Night is an opportunity to meet new people, exchange ideas, and build meaningful relationships across borders. Rather than a formal conference, the evening is all about open conversations, unexpected encounters, and creating new opportunities for collaboration. From startups and academic innovation to deeptech, founders, investors, corporates, universities, government organizations, and ecosystem builders gather over drinks, short pitches, and conversation to spark the partnerships that shape the future. Come for the people, the conversations, and the connections—and stay for the Kanpai (cheers). 📍 Event Details Date: Monday, October 5, 2026 Doors Open: 18:15 Location: TIME OUT Market Osaka, Grand Green Osaka South Building B1F Participation Fee: ¥2,000 Includes all-you-can-drink.
