mymizu joint recipient of $1 million Chivas Venture prize as Japan Finalist

mymizu, the Tokyo-based initiative reducing the consumption of single-use plastics, has been named the Japan finalist of the highly coveted Chivas Venture Competition. As part of this prestigious award, mymizu will receive $40,000 in funding to accelerate its growth and impact.

The Chivas Venture is an annual competition that sees entrepreneurs compete for a share of $1 million in funding for their world-changing startups. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, each of the winners from 26 countries will be awarded $40,000 to be put towards creating positive change at a testing time for people across the globe, instead of pitching at the Chivas Venture Global Final event in Toronto this year as originally planned.
