This Friday (3/29), Japan's accelerator, Landing Pad Tokyo (LPT), was invited to visit Innovation to Industry (i2i), showcasing the amicable Taiwan-Japan relations and solidifying the commitment to ongoing deep cooperation.
The meeting not only facilitated exchanges between Taiwanese and Japanese startups but also explored landing projects, focusing primarily on three main themes: the current trend among businesses towards adopting digital technologies like AIoT to enhance productivity,
the necessity for industries such as manufacturing and hardware to incorporate carbon neutrality concepts into corporate policies amid the growing prominence of ESG,
the future technological development goals centered around Smart City initiatives and Digital Health Technology.
Chaired by i2i, the meeting saw Chairman Gary Gong delivering the introductory speech, welcoming LPT Chairman Inoue Hirotaka, Vice Chairman Takeuchi Shin, and CEO Kato Kiyotaka. Facilitated by Takizawa Hiroki, Manager from the Taiwan-Japan Industrial Cooperation Promotion Office (TJPO), discussions revolved around these three main themes, exploring future plans for LPT and i2i to facilitate exchange and development for startups from both sides.
LPT has long facilitated mutual exchanges between startups and large enterprises while collaborating with local Japanese governments to promote the development of medical and smart city technologies.
This visit brought Japanese industry insights and laid the groundwork for Taiwan-Japan cooperation. i2i will continue to assist in matchmaking trends and technology industries relevant to Taiwanese startups.
