Continuing the previous dialogue, Japan's accelerator Landing Pad Tokyo (LPT) participated in a visit organized by i2i to discuss the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOU) for cooperation in Taiwan-Japan startup exchanges.
Taiwan's current industrial development focus on technology sectors like AIoT, Digital health, Cyber security, also on manufacturing. Considering the high compatibility between startups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the manufacturing sector that LPT primarily engages with, a solid foundation for bilateral cooperation has been successfully established, paving the way for future projects such as the signing of MOUs.
Chaired by the i2i Chairman, Gary Gong, the meeting was attended by LPT Chairman Inoue Hirotaka, Vice Chairman Takeuchi Shin, and CEO Kato Kiyotaka.
Dialogue was facilitated by Takizawa Hiroki, Manager from the Taiwan-Japan Industrial Cooperation Promotion Office (TJPO).
LPT Chairman Inoue Hirotaka and Vice Chairman Takeuchi Shin expressed Japan's current emphasis on startup development, noting the presence of numerous startup accelerator organizations in the country. LPT's strength lies in its specialization in manufacturing and its friendly relationships with a large number of local SMEs in Japan, as well as its close cooperation with the Japanese government.
i2i Chairman Gary Gong emphasized that Taiwan also regards manufacturing as one of its key industries, and cooperation between education and startups primarily focuses on sectors such as AIoT, Digital health, and Cyber security. With over 260 startups already in residence in its startup terrace, i2i is well-positioned for cooperation with LPT in terms of both technical expertise and active collaboration with SMEs, promising a bright future for collaboration.
Additionally, i2i invited Jerry Chang, Director of Process Development at Taiwanese startup JMEM Tek, to participate and present the collaborative potential of its cybersecurity technology.Jerry Chang explained that in light of the current trends in AIoT development, traditional software protection is no longer sufficient to meet enterprise needs, leading to increased attention to hardware protection.
Addressing the inadequate security of existing one-time programmable ROM, JMEM has developed more robust memory security solutions, a highly promising technology project for both domestic and international enterprises. Its market potential extends beyond cybersecurity to product certification, gaming, counterfeit detection, and more.
In response to this proposal, LPT Chairman Inoue Hirotaka outlined the advantages and key points of entry for JMEM into the Japanese market and offered recommendations.
