About Tsukuba
A place of pilgrimage since the Heian period, maybe even longer, Tsukuba sits on Honshu Island in the Kanto region with an estimated population of around the 223,151 mark. It's known as the location of the Tsukuba Science City that was developed in the 1960s as a planned science park. Awash in universities, its' streets are overflowing with dynamic and youthful brainpower. Coworking spaces have arrived in Tsukuba for its' tech savvy youth that are no longer afraid of the stigma of failure, thanks to the media hype surrounding startups.
Tsukuba is home to Intel Japan, Cyberdyne Inc, SoftEther Corporation and TonQ Corporation. The Tsukuba Expo Center has interactive science displays and a planetarium to gawk at, whilst the Space Center is where you can check out a rocket engine and exhibits on space exploration. This is where you can get some inspiration for your pitch to the government to get on board with their plan to achieve commercial development on the moon. Startups that qualify will be able to receive funding for such things as research costs and to cover the price of patents, which is a huge incentive for those who dream big.
For many who have their feet firmly planted on terra firma but still have big ideas, it appears that health care, agritech, Internet of Things, enterprise software and artificial intelligence are the popular niche markets for Japan's inventive youth. Coworking venues are providing the perfect space to hatch those plans of world or maybe moon domination.
