OIST-Lifetime Pitch Elevate 2026(アイデア段階からシード・アーリーステージのスタートアップを対象とした、VCによるメンタリング付きピッチコンペティション)への、ヘルスケアおよびディープテック分野のスタートアップからの応募を受け付けております。本コンペティションは、11月4日・6日にOISTにて開催されるOIST-Lifetime Startup Elevate 2026の一環として実施されます。
本ピッチコンペティションは競争率が高く、すべての応募者が選出されるわけではありません。しかし、沖縄を拠点とする地元スタートアップ、またはPARKSからのスピンアウト企業の場合は、メインプログラムと並行して開催される地元スタートアップ限定のピッチイベントにて発表いただける機会がございます。

We are now accepting applications from healthcare and deep-tech startups for the OIST-Lifetime Pitch Elevate 2026, a VC-mentored pitch competition for idea-stage to seed/early-stage startups. The competition will take place as part of the OIST-Lifetime Startup Elevate 2026 on November 4 and 6 at OIST.
As this is a highly competitive pitch competition, not all applicants will be selected. However, if you are a local startup based in Okinawa or a spin-out from PARKS, you may still have the opportunity to present at a dedicated local startup pitch event held alongside the main program.
We encourage all eligible local startups to apply and look forward to receiving your applications.
