Mt. Fuji Demo Day Taking Place: Japanese and American Startups Eye Taiwan Expansion

Starting this year, i2i has partnered with the Japanese accelerator, Landing Pad Tokyo (LPT), to jointly promote the IP2 Launchpad Program. This initiative aims to assist international startups looking to enter the Taiwanese market by facilitating collaborations with local companies and exploring potential partnerships with Corporate Strategic Entrepreneurs (CSEs).

On September 10th, several Japanese startups—Generic Cosmetics, MaiSend, Synaptech, and Reservency—along with the American startup Global ETS, will participate in the Demo Day for the international pitch session. The event will invite IP2 Review Board members to share their advice.
