For Ventures
Enter Japan with Living Best
Japan is one of the world’s most important markets for longevity innovation.
Living Best helps selected global ventures understand their Japan opportunity, build trusted local relationships and progress toward implementation.
Through our collaboration with Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute International (ATR) in Keihanna Science City, selected ventures can access a structured validation pathway in one of Japan’s leading research and innovation ecosystems, while connecting with opportunities across Japan.
Why Japan?
Japan is already living the demographic future that many other countries will soon face.
For the right international ventures, Japan can offer:
- Sophisticated users and institutions
- Major corporate and public-sector partners
- Real-world evidence and validation
- Global market credibility
- A platform for wider Asian and international growth
But entering Japan successfully requires more than overseas traction. It requires local evidence, trusted relationships and a credible route toward implementation.

A Real-World Pathway into Japan
Living Best helps selected ventures validate their Japan opportunity, build trusted relationships and connect with relevant opportunities across Japan.
Our collaboration with ATR in Keihanna Science City provides an initial real-world environment for validation and engagement, supported by Living Best’s wider professional and ecosystem network across Japan.
The goal is to move beyond market interest toward credible evidence, partnerships, pilots and implementation across Japan.
