JASHIE Powered by Mizuno Corporation

Building a people-centered sports and health innovation ecosystem between Japan and Australia

The Japan Australia Sports & Health Innovation Exchange (JASHIE) is proud to announce that the 2026 program is Powered by Mizuno Corporation, a global leader in sports technology and innovation.

Founded in 1906, Mizuno Corporation has continually advanced the world of sports through technologies based on deep, people-centered research and an enduring commitment to improving society through sport. 

Through this collaboration, Mizuno will explore co-creation opportunities that translate technology and research into real-world impact — from athlete performance and rehabilitation to fan engagement and community health.

“Mizuno’s people-centered innovation philosophy reflects the same purpose that drives JASHIE — to use sport as a platform for innovation and social good,” said Cristina Merino, Founder and CEO of JA-Network.
“Together, we aim to strengthen the bridge between Japan and Australia’s dynamic sports and health innovation ecosystems.”

By connecting startups, corporates, investors, universities, and government agencies, JASHIE provides a unique platform for cross-border collaboration and business development in the sports, health, and active lifestyle sectors.

Together, Mizuno and JASHIE are working to build a people-centered sports innovation ecosystem — one that celebrates movement, technology, and collaboration to create a healthier and more connected future.
