Fukuoka is rapidly becoming a leader in the startup world. Japan has awarded the city a designation as a National Strategic Special Zone, meaning that there is now a simple pathway for startups to bring their businesses to the city. Startup Visa (Foreign Entrepreneurship Promotion Project) is a scheme that can be used by local governments that have received planning authorization from the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The purpose of this scheme is to increase the acceptance of foreign entrepreneurs and to promote new businesses. Recently, Fukuoka City was the first in Japan to be authorized under this scheme.<\/p>\n
