Glocalink will utilize this conference to provide business growth support to tenant companies—including those at “Center of Garage” (hereinafter “COG”), the R&D-focused venture incubation facility we operate—as well as to the companies in which we have invested.

The main conference features initiatives designed to accelerate networking across different industries and fields, such as 90-second short pitches by exhibiting companies and “booth time,” during which facilitators act as intermediaries between companies. COG tenant companies and our portfolio companies aim to leverage this conference to combine their own technologies and challenges with the technologies and knowledge of outstanding mid-sized and small businesses nationwide, thereby directly creating opportunities to build new value chains and conduct proof-of-concept experiments.
Furthermore, as Glocalink, we will continue to expand our partnerships with the organizations we support—including mid-sized and small businesses, as well as new startups—to work together to create new value that will change the world and bring these initiatives to fruition in society.
