Overview
The Hongo area of Tokyo is currently home to many AI startups originating from the University of Tokyo, and is also known as Hongo Valley. This research aims to clarify the key factors for the growth of AI startups and to develop the AI industry in Hongo as a starting point.
As our research methodology, we will visualize and analyze the human networks of startup ecosystems in global cities such as Toronto, Canada, where AI startups are highly concentrated.
At this time, we will focus on “relational assets,” the value created by community connections.
Startups grow by acquiring various management resources from their human networks. In this research, we will clarify what kind of human networks (relational assets) contribute to the growth of AI startups.
For example, based on the hypothesis that not only the most central person in the community is important, but also that there are other people who play important roles around them, we will clarify what kind of roles and relationships are important and what kind of “relational assets” startups should really build. We will reveal the “relational assets” that startups should truly develop.
