The presentation event "Demo Day 2026: iGi x LVLZero Tokyo" was held in Tokyo on October 2, 2026, jointly by the iGi indie Game incubator organized by Marvelous and LVLZero Tokyo, organized by MIXI Global Investments. Ten teams presented in-development titles to more than 40 domestic and international publishers and game-related companies. iGi's sixth cohort graduated at the event, while LVLZero Tokyo's first cohort finished a mentoring program that ran from June to September 2026.
The event paired two programs with different aims. The iGi indie Game incubator, organized by Marvelous and built on the Game BCN program run in Barcelona, selected five teams for its sixth cohort and gave each about one to three hours per week of support from domestic and international experts. LVLZero Tokyo, run by MIXI Global Investments, selected five teams for its first cohort and put them through 10 sessions of "100-day mentoring" over about three months, covering overseas promotion, localization issues, and trailers for overseas audiences.
After the pitches, iGi advisor Satoshi Sato of Rudelms took the stage. He presented the IGDA Incubation SIG, which he said has 120 incubator and accelerator bodies from 62 countries as members, including both programs.
