Following that, each organization and venture company delivered their one-minute pitches. The participating startups spanned diverse fields such as food, healthcare, navigation, and legal solutions systems. Each company passionately introduced their innovations and business content, and we could feel their strong desire to expand into Japan.
After the pitch, participants were guided to the sixth floor, where the lab is located, and the seventh floor, which houses the coworking space. They were able to experience the real atmosphere of LiSH by seeing residents actively working in private rooms and shared spaces. Finally, they returned to the studio room for a networking session, concluding the program.
Through this meetup, we hope that participants will become even more interested in expanding their businesses in Japan and consider LiSH as a candidate for a research and development base in the future. Real-world will support idea generation among participants and the creation of collaborations with domestic and international partners. We will continue to support researchers and startups who tackle global challenges using science and technology.
