\nIn the second session (September 4), the real challenges and possibilities for deep tech ventures with cutting-edge technology to challenge the advanced industrial market in Asia were highlighted through the sharing of actual cases of the Tohoku University venture Ball Wave's expansion into the Taiwanese market. The key is not \"technology-driven\" but \"the ability to adapt to the local industrial context\" and \"deployment strategy through co-creation. It became clear that the three axes of building relationships with trusted partners, connecting to specialized networks, and a deep understanding of local needs are the keys to successful overseas expansion.<\/span><\/p>\n

Seminar Report<\/h4><\/span><\/span>\r\n<\/div>\n

How to make the first step in overseas expansion<\/span>
\n<\/span>\u2e3b 1. technological superiority of deep tech and sense of market selection<\/span>
\n<\/span>The spherical sensor technology developed by Ball Wave is an innovative device that makes full use of MEMS technology. The company selected the Taiwanese market, which has a concentration of cutting-edge semiconductor industries, as its target market because \"in order to take advantage of cutting-edge technology, you have to go to the places that want it,\" he said. The Taiwanese market is more flexible than the U.S. market and more aggressive in introducing new technologies.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0\u2e3b 2. local partners and professional networks are key to deployment
\n<\/span>In Taiwan, the process of building co-creation relationships in collaboration with trusted local partners was emphasized. The \"chain of trust through people\" is accelerating the development of partnerships with water treatment manufacturers and collaboration with researchers through academic networks. Events in the form of exhibitions and academic conferences were also utilized as effective networking opportunities.<\/p>\n

\u2e3b 3. \"You can't win with technology alone\" - the ability to read the local context<\/span>
\n<\/span>As a lesson learned through the company's entry into Taiwan, Mr. Akao emphasized, \"Even if the technology is excellent, it will not be accepted if it does not fit the local context. In all phases of product, sales, and R&D, a deep understanding of local needs, culture, and industrial structure is essential, and in particular, a \"two-sided strategy\" that attacks both persuasion at the top level and practicality at the field level is effective.<\/p>\n

Based on this, the third session (September 26) will invite Mr. Ken Matsui, CEO of ugo K.K., to give a lecture titled \"Thinking about building a system to create together with partners\". In addition, practical contents such as MOU conclusion in Southeast Asia and field trip to the region are also planned. RIVERNESS will provide full support for the process of startups facing real local issues and growing through the fusion of business and research. We look forward to welcoming all deep tech startups who want to join the challenge of \"changing the world with the power of deep tech.<\/p>\n
