Fully Leverage TEAMZ SUMMIT Side Events & Networking Dinners
The value of TEAMZ Summit extends far beyond the main forum and exhibition area. Many business partnerships are formed in more informal settings:
Side Events: Small parties or launch events hosted by projects, investment firms, exchanges, or foundations. Participants are more focused, making communication highly efficient.
Networking Dinners: Ideal for quickly building relationships, introducing projects in depth, or reaching initial collaboration agreements.
Recommendation: Check the official schedule and partner list in advance, identify target contacts, and arrange meeting slots ahead of time.
Arrange Post-Summit Deep-Dive Interviews, Corporate Visits & Accelerator Tours
Even after the Summit concludes, there remains significant business value to explore:
Visit tech-dense areas such as Tokyo Bay Area, Shinagawa, and Meguro.
Meet with Web3/AI startups, incubators, and innovation labs to understand the local tech ecosystem.
Useful for identifying potential partners, suppliers, or investment opportunities.
For larger teams, consider a combination plan: half-day roundtable + half-day field visits.
Plan “Between-Session Business Meetings” & “Cultural Experience + Business Dialogue” for VIP Clients
This is a favorite approach among many international attendees:
Attend the Summit in the morning, then schedule client meetings / pitch sessions / media interviews in the afternoon.
Combine evening cultural experiences tea ceremony, sushi-making class, sake tasting with light business networking.
Builds trust in a relaxed environment, making collaboration discussions smoother.
Especially effective for high-value clients and supports brand positioning.
Use Tokyo’s Tech Exhibitions for Pre- & Post-Summit Business Extensions
Tokyo hosts numerous tech events in April, offering excellent opportunities to optimize the business schedule:
NexTech Week, AI EXPO, Blockchain EXPO, and other exhibitions are often held around the Summit dates.
Encourage clients to arrive a few days early for ecosystem exploration, or extend their stay to visit exhibitions and B2B areas.
Helps broaden the network, especially for projects and investors seeking market entry into Japan.
Also useful as “business intelligence scouting” to understand competitor trends, products, and potential collaborations.
Organize Pitch Sessions for Potential Partnerships Using Local Institutional Resources
Japanese investors prefer structured, formal presentations—prepare a 20–30 minute pitch + Q&A.
Potential invitees include: VC/CVC, family offices, innovation divisions of listed companies, Web3 compliance advisors, and exchange BD teams.
With TEAMZ Summit’s high international visibility, scheduling multiple intensive pitches during this period greatly increases success rates.
Customized Business Routes for Visiting Teams
Design different itineraries based on the profile of each client group:
Investment Teams: Meetings with project founders, visits to incubators, closed-door discussions with Web3 entrepreneurs.
Corporate Clients: Visits to AI solution providers, RWA/governance consultants, and on-chain data service companies.
Government / Industrial Park Delegations: Coordination with Japanese local government agencies and tech parks to explore policy cooperation opportunities.
Media / KOLs: Visits to Japanese tech media, content platforms, and opportunities for brand promotion.
Recommended Business Action Checklist (Ready to Execute)
Schedule meetings with target partners at least 4–6 weeks in advance.
Prepare bilingual (Chinese–Japanese/English) business profiles, product materials, and investment decks.
Reserve half a day to a full day before or after the Summit for business development activities.
Use Tokyo’s shared office spaces (WeWork, H1O, Basis Point) as convenient meeting points.
Record all guests’ business itineraries in a unified scheduling system (e.g., Monday / Notion).
