Additionally, we held valuable exchanges with representatives from Canada, Costa Rica, India, Korea, and Lithuania.
A significant achievement during this mission was our participation in the ICBA (International Council of Biotechnology Associations) Annual Meeting, which brought together 17 organizations. We had the opportunity to present Japan's Bioeconomy Strategy, focusing on fermentation-based bio-manufacturing and healthcare, as well as our initiatives to strengthen the startup ecosystem.
Furthermore, through participation in diverse networking events including LINK-J Japan Night, Japan Innovation Night (hosted by JETRO/METI), and the Lithuanian biotech breakfast meeting, we contributed to building an international collaboration framework.
