India Accelerator, one of India’s top startup accelerators, has joined forces with Tokyo’s 01 Booster to build a Japan-India Startup Corridor. The partnership aims to help startups from the two countries to grow their businesses internationally with new markets, investors and technology.
Startups in India and Japan have great potential but often struggle to expand into foreign markets. India Accelerator and 01 Booster are to make easier for the companies to enter markets of each country, connect with new customers and secure essential funding. Creating more cross-border investment opportunities means helping the startups to build the required financial and industry connections to succeed.
A big part of this collaboration will focus on sharing technology and ideas. Japan is known for advanced tech and India has a fast-growing digital sector. Startups from both the countries can combine their strengths to create innovative projects. The exchange of technology and ideas could lead to exciting developments.
The partnership is to support talent and skill-building. Programs for skill workshops, internships and other training opportunities are being planned to help entrepreneurs as well as professionals to gain new skills and international experience. All these efforts aim to build a skilled community that is ready to thrive in global markets.
Takeuru Kawashima, Executive Director of 01 Booster, sees India as a unique opportunity for growth through innovation, while Deepak Sharma, Co-founder of India Accelerator, believes this partnership will help startups access new markets and funding opportunities more easily.
This is an era of working together to succeed and the new partnership is a perfect example of the same. The two countries are giving startups a solid platform to expand, collaborate and bring their ideas to a global audience.
