đ Sleeve’s Captivating Journey in Japan
Excited to share our incredible journey at the GO TOKYO 2023 Program! Sleeve was honored to be selected as one of six Austrian startups for this prestigious initiative, which unfolded in the vibrant cities of Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka, and Yokohama.
âď¸ Global Industry Engagements: Our CTO Irmin and CEO Emir interacted with key players such as KYOCERA Global, Murata, and ROHM Co., Ltd.. A heartfelt thanks to the Global Incubator Network Austria (GIN) Team, Chiara Witzemann and My Yen Lau, as well as ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA‘s Rumi Onodera and Arnold Ackerer for their invaluable guidance.
đ¤ Spotlight Moments: The program was packed with dynamic events, including the INNOVATION LEADERS SUMMIT (ILS), German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (AHK Japan)‘s TechBIZKON, and SEMI Japan‘s SEMICON. We even had the honor of attending a reception at the German Embassy. Our time spent with the Advantage Austria delegation, alongside established companies, was insightful and enriching. Special appreciation goes to Akio Yamane and Andy Kondo for supporting us.
đ Pitching Sleeve: One of the highlights was pitching Sleeve and discussing our industry challenges with an enthusiastic audience. Sharing the stage alongside innovative startups like AIoT Solutions, LoconIQ, Sarcura , TriLite Technologies, and MULTIVATIVE was truly enriching.
đ¤ Networking and Learning: The program offered us numerous opportunities for networking, sharing ideas, and learning from peers. The Austrian Startup Night in Kyoto, in particular, was a fantastic platform for showcasing Sleeve to the Kansai startup ecosystem.
đ Acknowledging Collaborations: A huge shoutout to the Global Incubator Network Austria (GIN) for organizing such a dynamic program. We also extend our gratitude to the Advantage Austria delegation, including AGILOX Services GmbH, Cubicure GmbH, DR YIELD, In-Vision Technologies AG, Ruttensteiner Consulting, Sico Technology GmbH, and Siconnex.
