"We're honored to represent the Kansai region at the Pitch2Tokyo finals," said COO Keito Takishita. "This recognition reinforces our belief that robotics has a powerful role to play in solving Japan’s future challenges and we’re just getting started."

The final Pitch2Tokyo event will be held in Tokyo, where Kanaria Tech will share the stage with other top startups from across Japan in front of a global audience.
