2024 Summer - Cross-Border activitY Update

HelpING startups create IMPACT, GROW and EXPAND

Aligned with our primary mission to support innovative companies develop and grow their business internationally in a direct approach or through partner initiatives, our encognize G.K. team was involved in the delivery of the following engagements over this summer 2024 (among others):

• IMPACT - through our 「hyumpact ventures」 service line, we have provided direct support to Toy8, a Japanese/Malaysian EdTech・HealthTech startup offering a mobile, AI-based early childhood developmental screening and intervention solution. And we are very proud to share that the Toy8 team has won the ERIA 2024 One ASEAN Startup Award at the 2nd pre-event held in Kuala Lumpur! Congratulations to the Toy8 Team for this achievement that will for sure help increase their impact in ASEAN. Additional impact activities provided by our team also included for instance the contribution to the conceptual design of a Japanese project dedicated to Inaka Revitalization through responsible tourism.
• GROW - as part of our 「synaptik」 service line, we were proud to support SHE LOVES TECH, the world's largest acceleration platform for women and technology,  through the provision of mentoring sessions to four of their East Asia 2024 COMPETIT10N finalist companies offering solutions in sectors as diverse as FemTech, Circular economy, sustainability and Medical/Health DX. We also directly supported in their development journey a Singapore-based Alt. Material startup with a first product positioned at the intersection of textile and sustainability.
• EXPAND - beyond the on-going support to our current 「XBORDR」 portfolio companies, we helped NautilusLog, a German company focused on Maritime DX thanks to a smart data management and automation platform, shape their initial Go-To-Market Strategy for Japan through mentoring sessions organized as part of a Start2 programme.
