Based in the dynamic, multicultural capital city of Berlin, CROSSBIE is committed to helping startup companies achieve tangible, sustainable success. With a specialization on melding Japan with the global startup ecosystem, CROSSBIE establishes a tech marketplace for both companies and startups, promotes development of new innovations, and drives business and societal impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe are a cross-border innovation ecosystem. We wanted to create a bridge between Japan and Berlin, but also, to all of Europe. We are helping the Japanese government transform Japanese corporations into global corporations and to create more inbound investments,\u201d shares Chika Yamamoto, CROSSBIE\u2019s CEO. \u201cBerlin is recognized as one of the top startup ecosystem cities in Europe. Initially, companies came here because it was cheaper than the other major cities in Europe but its rich history, culture, diversity and inclusiveness makes it really attractive for young people who are looking for inspiration and future technologies,\u201d Yamamoto adds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-pullquote\"><blockquote><p>We are helping the Japanese government transform Japanese corporations into global corporations and to create more inbound investments.<\/p><cite><span class=\"has-inline-color has-white-color\"><strong>Chika Yamamoto<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of CROSSBIE<\/span><\/cite><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\" style=\"margin-top:-15px;margin-bottom:25px\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/crossbie.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Crossbie-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-25693\" width=\"121\" height=\"39\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Crossbie-logo.jpg 400w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Crossbie-logo-300x96.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/Crossbie-logo-150x48.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 121px) 100vw, 121px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>While the company was formed just last April 2020, as the COVID-19 pandemic was just beginning, it has been actively supporting startups for four years, to date. \u201cThrough our networks, people started asking, &#8216;Can you help us with this and that?&#8217;\u2014CROSSBIE was born from this demand for our expertise, network, and services,\u201d Yamamoto explains. Propelled by its many partnerships with organizations such as JETRO, Asia-Berlin Summit, and The Drivery, to name a few, CROSSBIE brings an array of advantages to every startup\u2019s wheelhouse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yamamoto notes that this year\u2019s Asia-Berlin summit saw a big turnout of dignitaries from Kobe, Yokohama and from leading companies. \u201cI think the momentum is there and the business relationship between Berlin and Japan will become stronger and more profitable from now on. I hope that Japanese companies notice us as a potential business partner\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In September 2021, CROSSBIE founded CROSSBIE JAPAN K.K., a subsidiary in Yokohama, Japan, to further strengthen its operations also with big corporations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/crossbie.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">crossbie.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Few things are more rewarding to those with an entrepreneurial, innovative spirit than to set up their own company.
