Program
17:00–17:20 Seminar: "Deep-Tech Battery Venture's Southeast Asia Strategy"
17:20–18:30 Roundtable & Discussion

In the seminar segment, the Company laid out the energy-cost burden facing two-wheeler riders across ASEAN and presented its subscription-based business model — combining "3minGo!™" 3-minute ultra-fast charging with long-life batteries. We shared field-tested insights from the e-motorcycle taxi pilot underway in Bangkok, and the joint-development structure with Japanese manufacturers including Toshiba, Tatsuno, Toyotetsu, and Yamaha Motor.
The roundtable that followed, moderated by Maru-san of Leave a Nest, opened a dialogue with manufacturers, startups, investors, and government stakeholders across the Tokai region. The discussion focused on how the manufacturing and quality-management know-how of Japan's regional core enterprises can be applied to social challenges in ASEAN — and on the structures needed to take Nagoya's strengths to the world.
STATION Ai is Aichi Prefecture's startup hub and a center of the Tokai manufacturing ecosystem. This engagement marked an important starting point for our Tokai partner network, later leading to participation in the OKB SCLAMB Open Innovation Fund (March 2026) and the strategic ASEAN partnership with Yamada Shokai Holdings (February 2026).
