AI Without Borders: 日本からグローバルへ by Linkloud & TRENDO

Join leading AI founders, product builders, and industry decision-makers in Tokyo for a focused evening on what it takes to build AI products across borders—entering Japan, scaling from Japan, and moving AI from experimentation into real-world adoption.

🌐 Global AI Insights: AI is becoming global from day one—but the way it is adopted remains deeply local. Japan sits at the center of this tension, offering significant opportunities alongside distinct expectations around product quality, trust, distribution, and long-term relationships.

🤝 Focused Collaboration: This event hosted by Linkloud and TRENDO gathers AI founders, product builders, and industry leaders to explore entering and growing in Japan and how Japanese AI companies can scale beyond their home market.

🗣️ Expect Candid Conversations: Gain practical market lessons, a sharper view of what global AI founders might underestimate when entering Japan, and insights into the AI agent use cases gaining traction across Japanese industries.
