Summary

JIC has operated as a community and coworking space helping Japanese startups expand into the US.
Startups active in the US, SONIRE Therapeutics (medtech), Kailas Robotics (robotics, joined by JR East Startup) and bitBiome (biotech), share how they built networks, partnered with US companies, universities and research institutions, and drew on Japanese partners, including what did not work.
