The Global Bridge Program connects people and companies with science and technology to unsolved challenges across countries. Through TechPlanter, which was launched in 2014, RIVERNESS has supported more than 4,000 teams of deep tech ventures in Japan and abroad. By connecting the robust knowledge platform cultivated through this process with government agencies, major business companies, regional companies, universities and other research institutions in various countries, the program builds strategies for people and companies to explore unsolved issues across countries, figure out how to apply science and technology, and implement them.
