onlab web3 is a startup incubation initiative dedicated to supporting startups in Japan and around the globe with aspirations to enter the Japanese market. The initiative harnesses the expertise and network of Digital Garage Group, a leading Japanese digital marketing and fintech company established in 1995 and a pioneer in blockchain research and development, investment, and business development in Japan. Additionally, onlab web3 leverages the capabilities of Open Network Lab, an accelerator program that has successfully launched over 150 startups since 2010.
Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2008, blockchain technology and its supporting infrastructure have witnessed remarkable and widespread adoption across the globe, and this trend shows no signs of slowing down. Digital Garage is committed to utilizing these emerging global internet layers and their underlying technical foundations to contribute to the development of groundbreaking use cases that will shape the future.
Since 2015, Digital Garage has been at the forefront of startup investments, R&D initiatives, and community building centered on Bitcoin and its surrounding infrastructure. In 2018, we established Crypto Garage Inc., a strategic subsidiary dedicated to the crypto finance sector, and secured a license for the crypto asset exchange business in Japan. Additionally, we have formed a new research organization to nurture the growth of the web3 market and have assisted large Japanese enterprises and brands in entering the web3 market, by helping them explore the integration of NFTs and provide the necessary infrastructure for their new business operations. By leveraging our expertise in international networking, regulatory compliance, and technology development, combined with Digital Garage’s existing business assets in the top-tier fintech, digital marketing, and startup investment domains in Japan, we provide comprehensive support to our clients.
