African company PR with innovative technology for Japanese companies Yokohama Aug. 30 21:05
In conjunction with the TICAD = African Development Conference, an event was held aimed at bridging Japanese companies with “start-up companies” that produce innovative products and services in Africa.
This event, held in Yokohama, was organized by JETRO = Japan Trade Promotion Organization and UNDP = United Nations Development Program, and 24 companies from Africa and Japan participated.
Among them, Moroccan companies introduced equipment to be attached to motorcycle helmets, and in the event of an accident, if the sensor detects an abnormality, the location information is notified to the nearest ambulance team through a mobile phone application, leading to quick lifesaving first aid. I explained the benefits.
In another venue, there will be a booth where African startups and Japanese companies can hold business talks. Nigerian companies will be introduced to Japanese companies in charge of small-sized medical refrigerators that will be powered by batteries. In order to promote battery efficiency, we called for cooperation such as technology development and discussed the possibilities.
In Africa, where transportation and information infrastructure is not in place, startup companies that provide innovative products and services by using the latest technologies and systems are being born one after another, and the world is interested in investing in this field. Gathered.
