Why Virtual TSM?

  • What motivates you to join TSM?

TSM provides a platform for me to experience technopreneurship at the heart of one of the most bustling tech countries in the world (Japan). Earlier on in 2022, I started a technology startup with a few of my friends, which aims to promote investments in vertical farming through a gamified decentralized financial platform. With it being my very first entrepreneurship experience that is registered under the SMU-BIG Incubator programme, I was introduced to the challenges of developing a technology startup from scratch. While we decided to close down the startup earlier this year due to various reasons, I am still eager to improve and acquire new knowledge on the workings of building a successful startup from experts in Japan. In particular, with vibrant startup ecosystem in Japan, coupled with its advances into cutting-edge technologies in recent years, I believe there is budding entrepreneurs like myself have much to learn from Japan's entrepreneurs. On top of that, I am also excited to learn more about the different tech companies in Japan and it is also a chance for me to learn more about the culture of Japan.
