Commissioning of the SuperKEKB main ring took place in the first half of 2016. Phase 2 of the commissioning will start in April 2018 after the installation of the final focus system in the IR, but still without the vertex detector system. Once machine operation in the nano-beam scheme is established, the goal is to accumulate data for early physics analyses at different center-of-mass energies. In this talk, we describe the physics program for this early data that will focus on bottomonium spectroscopy and low multiplicity studies like dark sector searches. 000000947 8560_ $$fdoris.yangsoo.kim@desy.de 000000947 8564_ $$uhttps://docs.belle2.org/record/947/files/BELLE2-TALK-CONF-2018-066.pdf
