Japan Market Entry Program, Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka, launches their Virtual Demo Day website, showcasing the thirteen startups who have worked together with Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka’s partners to introduce their innovative solutions to Smart City and Living issues.
After attracting over 450 applications to the program, thirteen startups were selected to work with forward thinking Japanese partner companies – Hankyu Corporation, JR West Innovations, Dentsu, The Yomiuri Shimbun, SMBC, JT Group and Sakura Internet – and have spent their time in the 12 week program, making headway with their Japanese market entry and building POCs with the partners.
The Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka Virtual Demo Day introduces these companies, their Japan strategy, and their pitches towards investors and potential future partners, ready to kickstart their next steps within the Japanese market.
Joshua Flannery, Managing Director, Startupbootcamp Scale Osaka, said:
“There is an increasing number of programs in Japan conducting matchmaking services, and some encouraging Proof of Concept projects between startups and Japanese corporations – but often a successful match is not made or a project stops before real business begins. We are not trying to be another contributor to a shallow “PoC festival”, but by only helping mature startups, serious about Japan market entry and in a very hands-on way, we are starting to see the beginnings of PoC’s converting into real business – and that is an exciting thing for Osaka, Japan and startups worldwide.”
