Why Virtual TSM?
- What motivates you to join TSM?
I believe the TSM would be a really unique opportunity to learn about the latest trends, technologies, and gain insight into the startup scene in Japan. I have always wanted to explore the entrepreneurship scene and hear from experienced entrepreneurs - about the pros and cons, as well as the challenges that founders and employees face, so that I can be more prepared to start my entrepreneurship journey. Also, I grew up in Singapore and never really got to interact much with Japanese companies but I'm really interested in the tech scene in Japan as I plan to work there in the future and this TSM would be a great first step!
- Where would you like to visit?
Tokyo: Rakuten, Toyota, Sony, Ghibli, Mercari, Suntory Distillery, Fujitsu
Starting a business
- What types of business interest you?
Tech startups that develop innovative and new technologies to create new potential. I am also interested in the intersection of sustainability and technology as I think its gaining more importance.
- What plans do you have in starting a business?
I would start a business that leverages on the power and potential of AI and machine learning, for example using AI and machine learning to aid in software solutioning for businesses. I would also integrate sustainability aspects, to explore the intersection of technology and sustainability.
