Following Selection A, held on August 1, 2026, a total of 14 teams from Japan and Singapore have been selected to advance to the next stage of D-0. 2026 Batch.
Moving forward, the selected teams will use the Concept Budget and receive ongoing support from D-0. mentors as they validate their concepts in preparation for Demo Day in November.
The themes selected through Selection A span a diverse range of fields, including diagnostics and care, food and water, resource circulation, and sensory experiences. Starting from each team’s Question / Passion (Q/P) and Grand Vision, they will now take on the challenge of transforming their ideas into ventures that can create impact in society.

Toward Demo Day
Over the next three months, D-0. will support these early-stage concepts as the teams put their hypotheses to the test. Based on the results of this validation, participants will further strengthen the direction and form the future ventures. The teams will present the outcomes of these three months at D-0. Demo Day on November 20, 2026.
Participants who did not advance through Selection A will also remain part of the D-0. community. Through future events and activities, D-0. will continue to provide opportunities for engagement beyond the selection process.
