# **Astar Partners with Shibuya City**

Astar is now partnering with the Shibuya to support the ward’s web3 initiatives.

![](https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:1400/1*ATTnl1JECtbBRsp9DpoceA.png)

After landmark collaborations with leading Japanese enterprises, Astar is now partnering with the Shibuya to support the ward’s web3 initiatives. Shibuya prides itself on being the modern city of Tokyo. A hot spot for young entrepreneurs, high fashion, and miles of shopping outlets all centred around the Shibuya station.

Today is the first time a blockchain has signed an agreement with one of Tokyo’s largest, most densely populated cities. It’s a historic moment for Astar’s growth across Japan to become the blockchain backed by Japan. Over 400 developers are building the next generation of digital applications through Astar’s web3 Hackathon sponsored by Toyota. The call for teams to begin working with Astar’s Web3 Incubation Program with Sony Network Communications led to another astounding 200 applicants. Shibuya has a large group of Astar developers to support the city’s digital growth.

Entering an agreement with Astar is the quickest way for Shibuya to start using the Web3 ideas currently being developed to build the future solutions they need. This is in step with the recent moves of other cities in 2022 — [Fukuoka City](https://medium.com/astar-network/fukuoka-city-joined-astar-japan-lab-1a425f51bbdc) and Sendai City.

> *“Shibuya is the largest city for young people in Japan and the city of startups. It’s known as Japan’s Silicon Valley, or “Bit Valley,” derived from a place in Shibuya（渋谷), combining Bitter (渋) and Valley (谷). We’re honored to have opened our office in this tech hub and to have signed a basic agreement with the city to utilize web3,” Sota Watanabe, founder of Astar Network.*

Astar will create new opportunities to grow web3 in Shibuya by hosting regular hackathon events and education programs. Supporting the city will be easy with Startale Labs Japan choosing to set up headquarters in Shibuya, the part of Tokyo home to many global offices, including Google.

Startale Labs Japan is a company that develops dApps and infrastructure and provides business consulting services based on its expertise in multi-chain protocol development. The company will use Astar Network as the backbone to conduct R&D and incubation activities on behalf of Shibuya city.
