You know what to build. We bring the engineering team to build it.
The India × Japan DeepTech & AI Venture Challenge 2026 is a one-day startup pitch competition in Tokyo for founders building in DeepTech and AI. 15 founders will be selected to pitch at Demo Day on July 23, 2026, in front of VCs, strategic partners, and the WEBMOB engineering team.
What’s on offer:
🏆 Grand Prize: $30,000 in engineering credits — a dedicated WEBMOB team builds your MVP, PoC, or next milestone (not a cash cheque — a working product).
🤝 1-on-1 strategic review with the program curator before Demo Day.
💸 50% off development for every selected cohort startup (cash or equity, founder’s choice).
🌏 Warm introductions into WEBMOB’s bilingual India–Japan network and VCs.
Who should apply: Pre-seed, Seed, or early Series A founders based in or building for Japan. Sectors: Healthcare AI, BioTech, Robotics, Enterprise AI, Industrial AI, Climate Tech, FinTech, EdTech, MedTech. Bilingual (English + Japanese) preferred.
Why this is different: Japan faces a shortage of up to 800,000 engineers by 2030. Most accelerators give feedback or intros — this one gives you a build team. WEBMOB has shipped 200+ products globally, including Healthcare AI validated at the Mayo Clinic J-StarX program and platforms for Alfresa Holdings-backed HekaBio.
