CONNECTED on TaiwanPlus: Startups Land in Japan as It Turns Towards Startups

Japan has become a prime destination for Taiwanese startups, thanks to not just cultural affinity. Household names today like Appier, iKala and KKDay began paving the way 10 years ago, coinciding with Japan’s startup investments rising ten-fold in that time.

Will the current wave of Taiwanese startups find success in Japan? Where does Japan’s renewed startup focus leave the corporate incumbents, the keiretsus?

This episode of “Connected” on TaiwanPlus features three leaders at the forefront of these two converging trends, with Allen John Ku of Startup Island Taiwan, Tim Romero of JERA Ventures, and Yuki Shirato offering additional perspective from Techstars Tokyo.

In collaboration with TaiwanPlus, InnoVEX is delighted to provide CONNECTED’s tech and startup series in this newsletter.
