Inter BEE 2023, “Startup Area” to bring innovation to the content industry with advanced technology in the “INTER BEE GNITION x DCEXPO”.

The Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA; Representative Director/Chairman Takahito Tokita, President & CEO, Fujitsu Limited) announced that a new “Startup Area” will be established within the “INTER BEE IGNITION x DCEXPO” as a place for content-related startup companies aiming for growth through innovation in the media and entertainment industry to develop new customers and businesses.

INTER BEE IGNITION x DCEXPO (co-organized by the Digital Content Association of Japan) is a special event held within Inter BEE with the aim of creating and stimulating new business in the content and entertainment industries. In the current content production field, the application of advanced technologies such as AI technology is advancing, dramatically evolving creativity in the media and entertainment industry. At the same time, in the field of visual experience, attempts are being made to contribute advanced technologies to the advancement of society and communities. Content creation and expression technologies that utilize new technologies have become an important part of our daily lives and society. This special program will bring together content-related startup companies that are taking on the challenge of innovation, and will provide visitors with pioneering expressive technologies and content experiences to promote their expansion and growth as businesses. For example, we invite startups from a wide range of content-related fields, from creative-related fields such as metaverse, VR/AR, WEB3, video, avatar, volumetrics, games, music, and live entertainment to AI and brain tech to participate.

The startup Area is open to Start-up companies established less than 9 years (established after November 2014) that aim to grow through new technology and innovation in the media,video and entertainment industries. Also, in order to reduce the cost burden of exhibiting and to allow for flexible participation, exhibitors may choose to exhibit for either 2 or 3 days out of the 3-day exhibition period only in this area.

INTER BEE IGINTION x DCEXPO Startup Area is now accepting applications. Application deadline is May 30, 203.For further information, please refer to the official website.
