Discover your challenges
and future.

The third floor is "NEXT CITY," a remarkable new project. This zone was created to give birth to the next generation. Until now, IVS has been an "invitation-only" zone. However, NEXT CITY is open to anyone who has purchased a NEXT Pass. This zone is for all those who are interested in starting a business, startups, and new businesses. How to start a business in this era? What are the challenges of the future society? This is a zone designed to bring forth the next generation.

Divided into five stages and four areas, it is exactly like a town in search of the future. The right half is the CRYPTO-related area, and visitors can come and go as they please. Each stage and area has a concept, interesting sessions and pitches. Communication bars are scattered right next to the stages, where speakers and participants can talk with each other. There are also booths for partners and the community, making this a zone of discovery and insight for those who are looking to start a business or accomplish a new venture.

The basement level is the "PRO BASE" zone for executives and investors,
and is reserved for PRO Pass and VIP Pass holders.
This floor is for PRO Pass and VIP Pass holders only. There are four IVS stages, three CRYPTO stages, and a networking lounge. In addition, there is a networking lounge. In the lounge, there is a table staffed by each VC, and you can feel free to talk with them about your business management needs.

This is the village where the adventure begins. Don't miss the common zone.

After entering the main venue "Miyakomesse" and completing on-boarding, visitors will find themselves in the "VILLAGE" zone. This is the beginning of the adventure for visitors. This zone is open to all pass holders and is mainly lined with food and beverage booths. In addition, there is an area where contents are presented in the context of "Kyoto" and "startups," and an area where many HR-related companies will gather in order to increase the number of people involved in startups. There are many contents that you should not miss, such as the area where contents will be presented in the context of "Kyoto" and "startups," and "HR Yokocho," a hot area where many HR-related companies will gather to increase the number of startup-related people.
