Leave a Nest Group has fortified its deep tech start-up ecosystem via local institutions and academia in 6 Southeast Asian countries, including: Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam. We have successfully grown an ecosystem of deep tech ventures and startups. Fortunately, with great efforts throughout these years, we have managed to grow into the largest deep tech platform in Southeast Asia.

With this online platform, we will be able to bridge local start-ups, government agencies, universities and venture capital companies with Japanese companies. Additionally, via this technical sharing session, we will also discuss and identify various deep tech issues in Southeast Asia and provide a solution.
