The Pre-PoC Journey: Building Business Opportunities in Japan, Singapore & ASEAN

Building on its FY2025 discussions on the challenges to business creation and the support needed to address them, this year JSCCP will pilot hands-on support for selected projects to translate innovation collaboration between Japan and Singapore into concrete business opportunities, helping them advance toward PoCs and market entry.

The first seminar of this year will focus on the pre-PoC stage. Drawing on real-world cases and practical insights, the seminar will explore the early-stage challenges companies face when developing business opportunities in Japan, Singapore, and ASEAN, as well as the support needed to overcome them. The seminar will also feature a networking session, providing an opportunity for participants, including corporates, startups, and investors, to connect, exchange perspectives, and explore potential collaboration.
