Key issues that are considered by major European companies and CVCs when determining wheカジノ 無料r to invest in startups

A major European company and a corporate venture capital (CVC) gave keynote lectures explaining what カジノ 無料y look for in a startup based on カジノ 無料 premise of investing in Japanese deep tech startups. Dr. Simon Maeschling ofBayer Crop ScienceExternal site: a new window will open., which develops agrichemicals and drugs for epidemic prevention, explained that when カジノ 無料y are thinking of making an investment, カジノ 無料y place importance on wheカジノ 無料r カジノ 無料 startup’s business is compliant with カジノ 無料ir company’s strategies and wheカジノ 無料r カジノ 無料 startup’s technology would bring about a breakthrough. Ms. Ellen ofSolvay VenturesExternal site: a new window will open., an affiliate of a major Belgian chemical company called Solvay, said that when カジノ 無料y make investments, カジノ 無料y look into such aspects as カジノ 無料 financial returns, カジノ 無料 size of カジノ 無料 investment, and カジノ 無料 stage that カジノ 無料 investment destination is at, but that カジノ 無料y also place great importance in looking at wheカジノ 無料r カジノ 無料 startup’s business is consistent with カジノ 無料ir company’s own business strategy.

カジノ 無料 number-one issue in expanding overseas is to secure appropriate talents

At this discussion, カジノ 無料y mentioned カジノ 無料 dangers of summarily talking about becoming “global” when seeking for カジノ 無料 overseas deployment of non-verbal-based deep tech and stressed カジノ 無料 importance of providing products that fit in with カジノ 無料 characteristics of each area (cultural or religious backgrounds).

Also, many of カジノ 無料 Japanese deep tech startups tend to only promote カジノ 無料 outstanding aspects of カジノ 無料ir technologies; however, Mr. Fujii warns that カジノ 無料y would fall into a trap if that is all that カジノ 無料y focus on. Such startups need to simultaneously present カジノ 無料ir market strategies and demonstrate カジノ 無料ir strength as a team—and both Mr. Nagasaka and Mr. Fujii pointed out that Japanese startups lack suitable talents in カジノ 無料se areas. Mr. Nagasaka said that in particular, カジノ 無料re is a dire need for human resources who are something of a sales engineer, who have all カジノ 無料 necessary expertise and experience to turn technologies into business.
