Japan’s startup ecosystem is moving to a new level, with an ever-increasing number of next-stage companies changing their main target from just the domestic market to the whole world.<\/p>
With an economic environment that is not only very competitive but also full of uncertainties, startups are almost determined to consider markets beyond Japan much earlier in their life cycle; this is a clear sign of a major structural change in the country’s innovation scene.<\/p>
Historically, many Japanese startups relied heavily on the local market as their major source, largely because Japan is a big and highly developed economy. However, the startups’ attitude towards their local market is changing very fast. They are now considering foreign markets to get bigger customer bases, more of the investment capital, and livelier innovation environments. Partly, the shift comes from the internal problem in Japan.<\/p>

Even though ambition is rising, Japanese startups encounter a number of difficulties when they are expanding their businesses overseas. Different cultures, language problems, and not knowing how to operate in the international market can be obstacles in the process of globalizing one’s business.<\/p>
