Thanks to the support from JCI, HelloWorld Robotics has conducted verification tests for adapting their technology to the Japanese market and sought partnerships in the region, culminating in their participation in the upcoming expo.

The Japan Connect Initiative

The JCI, which runs until March 2025, aims to facilitate the entrance of startups from Indonesia, Singapore, Vietnam, and Malaysia into Japan, while also encouraging Japanese startups to expand into these Southeast Asian markets. This cross-border initiative is designed to create partnerships and foster innovation, crucial for developing a robust business ecosystem between Japan and Southeast Asia.
