Global Connector Salon
〜 Practical Business-Matching Networking Event 〜
The 4th Global Connector Salon focused on business matching and cross-border collaboration, providing a platform for dialogue that went beyond traditional networking and emphasized practical, business-driven interaction.
While English was used as the primary language, Japanese support was also provided, allowing participants to share concrete business ideas, themes, and challenges.
As a result, numerous discussions advanced toward next-stage opportunities such as pilot projects, strategic partnerships, and collaborative business initiatives.
During the one-on-one business matching sessions, participants gained a deeper understanding of each other’s strengths and areas of interest. These sessions fostered meaningful exchanges that are expected to lead to continued dialogue and concrete collaboration in the future.
