Taiwanese AI Companies to Collaborate with Japan

An upcoming event on August 19, 2026, aims to bridge the gap between Taiwanese and Japanese AI companies. The International Business Connection Organization, based in Tokyo, is co-hosting a significant exchange event under the theme "AI & Digital Platform Collaboration". This gathering will provide opportunities for Taiwanese companies specializing in advanced AI solutions to connect with potential Japanese partners and explore collaborative opportunities.

The Challenge of Connecting Taiwanese and Japanese Businesses

Taiwanese companies often struggle to find appropriate partners in Japan's vast market. Many have expressed a desire to enter the Japanese market but are uncertain about where to start or whom to approach. Despite having refined their skills in a dense service market back home, they often encounter difficulties identifying key contacts in Japan. There is a wealth of talented AI and digital platform firms in Taiwan with proven products in tourism experience booking, restaurant digital transformation, E-commerce support, AI marketing, and supply chain optimization. Yet, they remain largely unconnected to the opportunities within Japan.

Conversely, Japanese businesses are interested in the services offered by Taiwanese firms but face barriers such as language differences, varying business customs, and a lack of venues for meaningful interactions.

A Email Leads to a New Vision for Cooperation

The turning point arose from a single email from the Taiwanese IT industry association, TISSA. Their desire to unite Taiwanese digital enterprises to come to Japan for not just a visit but to discuss tangible collaboration possibilities resonated with the goals of the International Business Connection Organization. This initiative reflects a commitment to connectivity, a core principle since the organization’s establishment.

The event will host leading Taiwanese digital firms, including FunNow, KKday, WishMobile, TurnCloud, Cyberbiz, TopLogis, and Vpon, allowing them to engage directly with Japanese companies in business discussions.

A Collaborative Exchange Beyond Simple Introductions

This event is designed to foster substantive dialogue rather than surface-level introductions. Attendees will have the opportunity not only to learn about Taiwanese services and case studies but also to engage in one-on-one discussions with representatives from major systems integrators, sales agents, POS vendors, travel agencies, retail chains, and local governments.

The aim is clear: to move beyond mere presentations and explore concrete ways to work together.

1. Inbound Attraction and Regional Promotion
