This program supports startups in the Sendai and Tohoku regions in their overseas expansion.<\/p>\n

Leveraging the network of companies, universities, research institutions, and government agencies that Leave a Nest has built primarily in Southeast Asia, we provide support tailored to each client, leading to business negotiations, joint research, proof-of-concept (PoC), and business partnerships in local markets.<\/p>\n

Rather than making going overseas the goal itself, we aim to get your business off the ground in overseas markets, and provide comprehensive support from strategy design to connecting with local partners, hypothesis testing, and ultimately business development.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
