On September 27 & 28, the fourth edition of Tech in Asia Tokyo hosted 1,548 founders, corporates, investors, developers, industry experts, and other members of the tech community for two days of power-packed talks, workshops, and networking.
Two of Japan’s top 10 funded companies – Raksul and Freee – shared how business traditions in Japan are creating opportunities for startups. Industry experts discussed the impact blockchain tech is having on the local financial services industry, as well as Japan’s quest to become the world’s blockchain capital. We also debuted our Startup Strategy workshop series to help startups hone their skills – from lean economics, to branding and UX – to grow their business.
Some of our attendees took to Twitter to share the latest happenings and up-and-coming startups that they discovered.
