Korea Artificial Intelligence and Software Industry Association (KOSA) said on the 13th that, with Megazone Cloud, it ran a local market entry program for domestic artificial intelligence (AI) and software corporations in Tokyo, Japan, from the 10th to the 11th of this month.
Now in its third year, the program supported promotion and marketing for domestic corporations through local buyer matching, seminars for market entry, and pitching programs.
The participating corporations are 10 in the fields of AI agents, Digital Twin, Smart Logistics, and security, including Geonwoo Solution, DawsonT, Select Star, 3i, WhaTap Labs, Willog, ESTsoft, and Inswave.
At the first-day seminar, Suenaga Shunichiro, chief business officer (CBO) of Megazone Japan, gave a presentation on demand in Japan's AI and software markets and entry opportunities. The Japan AI Association then shared "local AI policy and regulatory response guidelines" and "experiences of domestic senior corporations that entered the Japanese market in discovering and managing local partners." On the second day, a pre-matched business consultation was held with an IT services (SI) corporation affiliated with a major Japanese logistics group.
A KOSA official said, "We will continue to support the entry of domestic AI and software corporations into the Japanese market by working with local Japanese corporations and institutions to identify technology demand, match domestic corporations, and connect follow-up business."
