Ahead of our transformative journeys, we meticulously prepared the startups, aligning with our unique program tailored to the specific needs of expanding businesses. This strategic readiness not only saves time on-site but also equips participants with essential insights for productive conversations. Our online program kicked off with a powerful in-person session in Berlin, bringing together 12 participants under the shared identity of being Berliners. This initial gathering laid the foundation for a robust network and camaraderie. On the first day, as we engaged in pitches and discussions, immediate synergies emerged, exemplifying the effectiveness of our program. Following this dynamic kickoff, we seamlessly transitioned into the online realm, ensuring continuous engagement and collaboration.
We’ve engaged in informative sessions with Berlin Partner and experts specializing in expansion strategies and the Japanese market, among other topics. The breadth of our discussions encompassed essential subjects such as defining goals for Expansion Lab, complemented by a networking lunch for all participants. We delved into crucial themes like market entry strategies, cross-border business models, crafting customer profiles, and the intricacies of partner matchmaking. Furthermore, we gained valuable insights into the Japanese industry, ensuring thorough preparation for our upcoming visits.
Exploring the Captivating Launch of Expansion Lab Japan in Shibuya District
What could be a more fitting launch for AsiaBerlin’s Expansion Lab Japan than right at the beating heart of Tokyo, the Shibuya District? Famous for its pedestrian crossing, Expansion Lab Japan kicked off with a community gathering event at Portal Port Shibuya. This icebreaker was perfectly suited for engaging and fostering valuable connections among all our participants. We extend our gratitude to Shibuya Startup Support for making this event possible.
