Learn about how Japanese startups deal with the pandemic or preparing post-corona- generation in Japan and how we can apply them in Hawaii
All of the world is facing a challenging time due to the COVID-19’s pandemic. Especially for Hawaii, the impact of the pandemic is more significant than in other states due to the unique structure of the economy, which relies on the tourism industry, has an isolated geography, and has a strong influence from Asian culture. Hawaii needs innovative ideas to survive this situation and leverage these experiences for the post corona generations in order to gain a big picture of what is the “new normal” in Hawaii. Although a lot of businesses and entrepreneurs are seeking new opportunities and innovation, it is very hard to come up with the “new normal” only inside our islands. Our pitch event will help local entrepreneurs and businesses to think from different perspective by introducing Japanese startups / entrepreneurs ideas and how they handle corona/post corona economy. This event will also help entrepreneurs and businesses to seek possible partnerships with Japanese entrepreneurs to benefit from their technology and knowledge to overcome our common challenge.
Focused industries of selected startups: Tourism ・Supporting Tourism tech/Medical・Health Tech/Ag・Food Tech/ Production ・Manufacture Tech
We will also select other Japanese startups besides these focused industries, which can be helpful for Hawaii’s community.
