We are also expanding our reach into the global stage to connect life science startups in Japan with global communities, and vice versa, through (a) activities such as "Japan Night"events at major global conferences (JP Morgan Healthcare Conference, BIO International and BIO Europe etc.) and (b) facilities such as "LINK-J Lounges" at UCSD and NYC in the US.
