On August 1, 2026, D-0. held Module 3 and Selection A for its second cohort. The Japan and Singapore venues were connected online, and participants from both countries shared the Question / Passion, Grand Vision, and action plans they had developed through the program so far.
The theme of Module 3 was “Bridge Communication.” In Module 1, participants explored the Q/P rooted within themselves. In Module 2, they translated their Grand Vision into concrete actions. In Module 3, they learned how to communicate their questions and concepts to others, and how to connect different people, knowledge, technologies, and resources to create the next step forward.
The session welcomed Tatsuya Uemachi, Founder of secca inc., as a guest speaker. Drawing on his own practice, he shared perspectives on connecting different fields and creating new value. In the workshop that followed, participants refined their presentations for Selection A, focusing on understanding the perspective of others and finding points of connection with their own Question / Passion and Grand Vision.
During Selection A, each participant delivered a 90-second pitch, presenting their Question / Passion, Grand Vision, and the actions they plan to take over the next three months. As a result of the selection process, a total of 14 teams — seven from Japan and seven from Singapore — were selected to move forward.
Over the next three months, the selected teams will use the Concept Budget and mentoring support from D-0. and partners to validate their concepts. Toward the Demo Day in November, D-0. will continue supporting each participant in turning their Question into a more concrete business concept.
