Day 01, September 29th

On day 1 of the workshop, after the formal event opening, we dived into the ice-breaker/ self intro session. This session was surprisingly a very productive session. The startups in addition to introducing themselves, their products and company also engaged in in-depth Q&A towards possible avenues for collaborations (among themselves, leveraging on each other strengths and experiences).

 

 

In addition we were happy to have alumni from Batch 1, Dr. Kush Agarwal  (CEO & Founder, WaveScan) and Mr. Steffan Fung (CEO & Founder, EXLR)  share their experiences about Batch1, trip to Japan, progress they have made since then, as well as  insights, learnings about the Japan Ecosystem as well as the role of corporates and venture capital.

Steffan on the other hand spoke about his journey with Leave A Nest,  how he has continued to collaborate with Japanese Corporates towards open innovation.  In addition he also spoke about the importance and steps involved in opening a subsidiary in Japan.

 

 

All in all it was very interactive session and provided a great start to the event. Leave a Nest is looking forward to working with the batch 2 startups towards supporting them achieve their missions in Japan.
