Connecting Japanese Industry to AI and Semiconductor Hard Tech (Webinar)
Japanese corporations are staring at a rare opening in AI and semiconductor infrastructure. Domestic policy is pushing hard to rebuild the chip stack; at the same time, Japan’s chemicals, packaging, optics, and power electronics champions are seeing more inbound interest from global AI and cloud players than ever before.
Across our work with Japanese partners, we’re hearing the same thing: they know they need to plug into the hard tech that underpins AI data centers and leading‑edge fabs, but they want sharper guidance on which layers of the stack truly fit their strengths and how to work with startups early enough to matter.
To explore that question, Pangaea Ventures is joining Hakuhodo and Corundum Systems Biology for an online webinar on June 24 at 4pm PT (8am June 25 Japan Standard Time), featuring Pangaea Partner Andrew Haughian. Andrew will share how our team has mapped global hard tech opportunities in AI, semiconductors, and adjacent infrastructure, and what that means for Japanese corporate venture and strategy leaders who want to move from “watching” hard tech to shaping it.
