According to Yonhap News,

Startups with cutting-edge technology in such fields as artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics will be seeking investment in Japan.

The Ministry of SMEs and Startups (MSS) and the Korea Institute of Startup & Entrepreneurship Development (KISED) announced that they will hold the "Super Gap Project Global Investor Relations (IR) in Tokyo" on June 25-27 to actively support the market entry of Korea’s top-tier startups into the Japanese market.

The event is part of the investment attraction program for the "Super Gap Startup 1,000+ Project" and will feature 13 top-tier startups with advanced technologies in key areas such as AI, robotics, future mobility, system semiconductors, and eco-friendly energy.

It will be more than typical investment presentation, as the event will include programs such as Proof of Concept (PoC) programs based on technology matching with Japanese large enterprises, reverse pitching with local investors, and mentoring on legal and intellectual property (IP) matters.

CHO Kyung-won, Director General for Startup Policy at the Ministry of SMEs and Startups, stated, "This event is a comprehensive program designed to help promising deep-tech (advanced technology) startups from Korea concretize business opportunities in Japan and accelerate their entry into the global value chain based on their technological capabilities. We will strengthen follow-up support and global linkage programs so that our startups can grow based on their technological prowess and business capabilities in major global markets, including Japan."
