Global Routes, Local Plays: How Korea Bridges Startups into Japan

As Korean startups increasingly set their sights on Japan and global markets, what are the real lessons from those who’ve done it? This panel brings together some of Korea’s most influential voices shaping the startup ecosystem—from founders and educators to media and government.

Moderated by TeaYong Kim, founder of EO and one of Korea’s top startup storytellers, the session opens with insights from the CEO of KVIC, Korea’s largest government-backed LP, on how national strategy supports global-first founders.

Joining the discussion are Jason Lim from Underdogs, with deep experience in cross-border founder training, and Luke Jinu Kim, CEO of AI startup LINER, on scaling a Korean product globally.

Expect candid takes on entering Japan, founder mindset, and what’s next for Korea-Japan collaboration
