DAY 2

Deeptech investment in Japan has traditionally been led by direct funding from domestic corporations. Recently, however, partnerships with overseas funds have gained attention. In the life sciences sector in particular, more startups are establishing overseas bases to secure large-scale funding, though many face challenges due to differences in market dynamics and speed. In this session, experts in investment, support, and research will discuss the advantages and risks of collaborating with global funds, as well as the optimal timing and strategies for Japanese deeptech startups to expand in international markets.
