Five promising SaaS startups from South Korea will gather in Fukuoka. Under the auspices of the Ministry of Science and ICT of South Korea (MSIT) and the National Information and Communication Industries Promotion Agency (NIPA), Rivaness Co., Ltd. will hold the “Japan-Korea Business Connect Fukuoka 2026 – Pitch & Business Meeting Event – Korea-Japan Innovation Connect Fukuoka 2026: Business Meeting & Pitch day” on Thursday, October 8, 2026, at the Zero-Ten Park HALL.

In addition to the pitches by five companies operating in the fields of personal information protection, business automation, AI agents, legaltech, and digital advertising, we will also conduct individual business discussions and networking. Companies that want to incorporate Korean technology and services into their new businesses or DX, companies looking for sales and business partnerships, and local governments, support organizations, and investors interested in collaborating with overseas startups are welcome to participate.

Background to the event

In South Korea, startups are growing that leverage AI and SaaS to support the advancement of corporate operations. However, in order to expand their business in the Japanese market, concrete connections with local companies, sales partners, local governments, and support organizations are essential.

At this event, five South Korean SaaS startups aiming to expand into Japan will connect with Japanese companies, local governments, support organizations, and investors to discuss the potential for service deployment, demonstration, sales collaboration, and joint ventures. Not only will you be able to hear pitches, but we will also set up individual business meetings with companies of interest, aiming to create concrete Japan-South Korea collaboration from Fukuoka.

This event is scheduled to be held as an official link event for the global event "RAMEN TECH" that brings leaders from Asia to Fukuoka.
