MONO (Manufacturing / Open-innovation / Network / Organizer)
Asia startup office MONO is one of Japan’s largest co-working incubation offices for entrepreneurs, especially for hardware startups. It was established in March 2013 as a platform for product development through open innovation along with corporate support.
With a background of the measures of the Tokyo’s Special Zone for Asian Headquarters, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government proceeded a project to promote the Tokyo Water Front City as a base of MICE, aiming to welcome foreign enterprises to its region. Under its measure, MONO has been carried out the projects with a strong support by Tokyo Metropolitan Government.
