Speed Dating

We will host a business matching event featuring a “brainstorming session” format where startups can engage in casual dialogue with representatives from operating companies, VCs, CVCs, and financial institutions. This program allows participants to quickly and concisely convey their company's strengths, business characteristics, and collaboration ideas, deepening mutual understanding. For corporations and investors, it offers a valuable opportunity to interact directly with potential future business partners. Precisely because it provides an informal, open dialogue space, it enables participants to take the first step in building relationships that could lead to future partnerships or investments.
