Exploring a Biotechnology Innovation Hub

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to visit an academically stimulating area on the outskirts of Munich. It was precisely the kind of environment we had been seeking—a cluster of companies and research institutions dedicated to various fields within biotechnology.

We are sincerely grateful for one of our partners in Germany. for kindly accommodating our request for a meeting despite the short notice. We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to another partner for making the introduction possible.

Looking ahead to February next year, we will serve as the organizer of an international event centered on the theme of cross-industry collaboration. Industries are not isolated entities; rather, they are deeply interconnected, creating opportunities for synergy and mutual reinforcement.

For example, biotechnology extends far beyond medical applications and plays a significant role in agriculture. Likewise, the semiconductor industry holds strong potential for collaboration with the space sector. Identifying these intersections is key to unlocking new value.

As the organise of Sapporo Transnational Expansion and Partnership (STEP), we are committed to discovering such combinations and facilitating exceptional partnerships. We truly believe that connecting industries across boundaries is a creative and energizing endeavor—one that continues to inspire us in our work.
