Japan to Leverage India's Tech for Software Growth
Supraja
Japan is expected to face a shortage of 180,000 software engineers by 2030 and is looking to India to help bridge this gap.
The Japan-India Innovation Pitch event, organized by Jetro Bengaluru and METI, aims to foster collaboration between Indian and Japanese startups and corporates.
Major companies like Maruti Suzuki, Omron Healthcare, Toyota Tsusho, GMR Group, and Infosys are seeking innovative tech solutions from startups.
Emphasizing respect, trust, humility, and patience, the initiative aims to strengthen economic ties and promote innovation through cultural understanding.
The Japan-India Innovation Pitch has already seen success in other countries like Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Vietnam, involving social entrepreneurs in economic growth.
