Co-Create with Japan: Reverse Pitch for Global Innovation Collaboration

This reverse pitch session brings together leading Japanese companies seeking collaboration with innovative U.S. startups in advanced technology fields. Instead of startups pitching, Japanese corporates will present their business challenges, strategic priorities, and partnership opportunities. Participating companies are exploring partnerships across AI, Climate Tech, Deep Tech, Dual-Use/Defense, Fintech, Healthtech, Quantum, Space, and Robotics. They include I-PEX USA Manufacturing, Inc., supporting innovation in mobility, aerospace, and medical industries; JATCO, Inc., a leader in electrified powertrain technologies expanding into e-bikes and caregiving devices; and Mitsubishi Corporation (Americas), operating globally across seven business groups including Energy, Infrastructure, Mobility, Food, and Retail. The session will also feature an introduction to JETRO’s J-Bridge Program and is ideal for startups seeking strategic partnerships, joint development, or entry into Japan.
