Toyota's Woven City is open for business and looking for startups | TechCrunch
Briefly

"Today, I say to anyone in any corner of the world, inspired or excited to make a difference. Make a change or make it count. Please consider this your official invitation to join us at Woven City," Toyoda said on stage. This reflects a strong call for collaboration and innovation toward a shared vision.
"I know what you are thinking with this Woven City, will make Toyota any money? Well, maybe not, but that's okay, because as global citizens, I believe Toyota has a responsibility to invest in our collective future, to share what we've learned with others, and support new ideas." This addresses the philosophical underpinnings of the initiative.
"This summer, the company is launching a pitch competition and will offer scholarships to the Woven City for startups or individuals who need financial support to bring their ideas to life," Toyoda said. This initiative underlines Toyota's commitment to fostering innovation and entrepreneurship.
Toyoda first shared his vision five years ago at CES 2020. Back then, the plan was to build a utopian city of sorts, where people would live and work amongst all of Toyota's projects." This reflects the evolutionary journey of the concept into the current 'Woven City'.
