Nagoya.Tech Robot Night

Join Nagoya's growing tech community for an evening of innovation, networking, and hands-on robotics exploration.

Nagoya.Tech, a welcoming initiative that brings together diverse technology professionals in the Chubu region, is hosting its next meetup at one of the city's most unique venues—STAR ROBOX Café & Bar on Friday, May 30

About Nagoya.Tech
Founded by international residents who experienced firsthand the challenges of connecting with Nagoya's tech community, Nagoya.Tech has emerged as a vital hub for the region's technology enthusiasts. The group addresses a key gap in Central Japan's landscape. While Tokyo and Osaka dominate tech headlines, Nagoya's smaller but promising ecosystem often lacks visibility and accessible entry points, particularly for international residents.

What sets Nagoya.Tech apart is its inclusive approach. Whether you're a seasoned engineer, curious student, freelancer, or just tech-adjacent, the community welcomes all skill levels and nationalities. The group operates independently, with no commercial affiliations or recruitment focus—it's genuinely about people connecting with people.

Built around three core pillars—Events, Education, and Community—Nagoya.Tech organizes monthly meetups that blend informal networking with structured learning opportunities. Members regularly share knowledge through short presentations, workshops, and discussions covering everything from robotics to UX design. Most events are conducted bilingually in English and Japanese, reflecting the diverse makeup of Nagoya's international tech scene.

Innovation Meets Community
The upcoming Robot Night promises to showcase this collaborative spirit in a truly unique setting. Taking place at STAR ROBOX Café & Bar, the event offers attendees a chance to explore robotics workshops and classrooms while connecting with fellow professionals working in 3D CAD, robotics, and digital design.

The evening kicks off at 19:00 with a bilingual welcome presentation from Nagoya.Tech's founders, followed by an open exploration of the venue's innovative facilities. Guests can mingle while discovering the intersection of café culture and cutting-edge technology that makes Star Robox such a distinctive space.

Open Mic.
A highlight of every Nagoya.Tech meetup is the Open Mic session, and Robot Night will be no exception. This signature feature gives attendees five minutes to pitch projects, announce job opportunities, or simply introduce themselves to the community. Participation is entirely optional, but these brief presentations often spark the most meaningful connections of the evening.

More Than Networking
Beyond social connections, Nagoya.Tech serves as both a professional support system and an informal incubator for the region's tech talent. The group helps members navigate job opportunities, provides peer advice on adapting to Japanese workplace culture, and creates visibility for international professionals in a city that's still discovering its own diversity.

This grassroots approach comes at a pivotal time for Nagoya. With government initiatives like Innovator's Garage and Station AI, as well as discussions around digital nomad visas, the city is positioning itself for a tech renaissance. However, for these efforts to reach their full potential, international engagement and community building remain crucial, exactly what Nagoya.Tech provides.

The group's founders, including Yanier, recognize the untapped potential in Nagoya's central location and strong manufacturing foundation. By creating a bilingual space for sharing ideas and building relationships, Nagoya.Tech fills the vital gap between official policy initiatives and day-to-day community experience.
