America

With the world's largest market and technology investment power, the U.S. has formed a huge innovation ecosystem of universities, research institutions, companies, and investors. On the West Coast, startup development is highly systematized, centered on Silicon Valley, where accelerators such as Y Combinator and Plug and Play have produced numerous deep tech companies. On the East Coast, on the other hand, an ecosystem specializing in life sciences and robotics has developed around the Boston area, which is home to MIT and Harvard, and support organizations such as MassChallenge are encouraging the commercialization of research results. For Japanese deep tech, the U.S. is the most important partner for international standardization and scale-up.
