5 startups across fintech, SaaS and hardware exhibiting at #tiatokyo2018

TIA Tokyo 2018 Startup Factory
 
With the increasing adoption of technologies such as AI, blockchain and cloud computing by organizations, startups and companies alike are starting to combine these technologies to produce powerful innovations. As a result, new hybrid products and services capable of further enhancing customer experiences, digitizing legacy industries, or even building new markets or industries altogether are emerging.

At Tech in Asia Tokyo 2018 happening on September 20 and 21, several of these startups with their unique offerings will be exhibiting right at the heart of the conference grounds, at Startup Factory. Here are five out of the many whom you can look forward to check out.

Agorize

What do you get when you combine crowdsourcing with social marketing, hiring talent, and developing opportunities for innovation? You get Agorize – a French startup focused on open innovation and community crowdsourcing. They aim to help companies to develop new ideas or ventures through an open community, offering innovation challenges to other startups, developers and students.

One of Agorize’s strengths lies in its five million strong community, where companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Bank of America make use of the open innovation challenges to source the best available talent, develop partnership opportunities with the right startups, or craft new innovation strategies and ventures for their company.

Attuned

People are the most important asset of any organization, yet their engagement is often one of the most difficult to track, manage, and enhance. For companies to address this, Attuned combined the power of machine learning to the effectiveness of the employee pulse survey, a simple and concise questionnaire system that checks on employee satisfaction on a consistent weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

Attuned’s amplified survey tool helps managers quantify the company culture and its overall health, giving real-time insights and learnings on team behavior, alignment and overall disposition. These bits and pieces of information empowers leaders and decision makers to better determine the best course of action in enhancing employee engagement and even reduce employee turnover.

Touché

Imagine walking into shops, cafes or restaurants and with just a touch of a finger, you will be introduced to a careful selection of promotions, credit card and reward options and a detailed ledger of your transactions molded according to your consumption profile. Seems like a little bit of science-fiction? Well, Touché is taking the fiction out of the equation with their solution.

The Singapore-based startup helps companies further enhance the consumer experience through the combined use of biometric solutions and customized loyalty programs. With just a quick four seconds scan, the customer will be able to pay for, discover, and experience the company offerings in a very personalized manner.

InsureVite

TIA Tokyo 2018 insurevite
In a legacy industry such as insurance, delighting customers can be tedious when its processes and solutions are complex and riddled with bureaucracy. This is especially true when an insurance company’s assets are still relatively free from digital innovations. Enter InsureVite, a web and mobile-based startup which aims to simplify the overall insurance experience through its bot platform powered by blockchain and AI.

InsureVite removes the numerous paperworks customers typically deal with, and breathes new life into the insurance industry through its responsive and customer service oriented chatbot, Cherry. By streamlining all insurance queries and processes into one platform, InsureVite looks to enhance customer engagement, learn customer preferences and reduce customer effort in an otherwise monotonous and repetitive experience.
