Southeast Asia x Japan Session: Where Ideas, Technology, and Markets Meet

Leave a Nest Singapore is pleased to announce a special pitch session at the upcoming Global Knowledge Hub Forum (GKHF) on 20 August 2025, themed “Southeast Asia x Japan Innovation”. 

 

In the first part of this session, we will be commemorating the anniversary of 144 Ventures, a venture capital in the Leave a Nest group. The co-founders of 144 Ventures will speak, including Dr. Kengo Suzuki, who will be giving an opening address. Following this, some of the portfolio companies of 144 Ventures will participate in lightning pitches, where the audience can learn about the issues faced in Southeast Asia as well as some of the innovations being created to tackle these challenges. 

 

The second half of this session will feature some cutting-edge Japanese startups and SMEs, who are looking to bring their technological innovations honed in Japan to Southeast Asia. The full line-up of panelists will be confirmed at a later date.

 

We invite players in all fields to join this special session to imagine the possibilities of cross-border innovation between Southeast Asia and Japan, as well as to share in the joy of 144 Ventures’ anniversary! Please click the link below to register your attendance at GKHF!
