A few weeks ago, the SYP team visited Tokyo and met with leading Japanese investors and corporate partners, including Salesforce Ventures, MUFG (MUTB), ANA (All Nippon Airways), Recruit Holdings, SBI Investment, Yamato Transport, and Deloitte.

The visit was part of our preparation for the upcoming 2026 Global IR in Tokyo (June 24–26), where we aim to create meaningful connections between innovative Korean startups and Japanese investors, corporations, and strategic partners. This year, SYP is introducing an Investor-Driven Selection approach, allowing us to identify startups that closely align with the interests and investment priorities of participating partners. Through this process, we hope to facilitate more targeted business collaborations and cross-border investment opportunities.

We appreciate the valuable discussions and insights shared by our Japanese partners and look forward to strengthening the bridge between the Korean and Japanese innovation ecosystems.
