Market Pulse: Global Signals from the Front Line
MARKET PULSE: Global Signals from the Front Line
Synopsis:
What’s moving markets—and how are those movements understood on both sides of the Pacific? Join leading investors and founders as they unpack live signals from the East Asia–U.S. market corridor, with a spotlight on Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and China. From shifting capital flows to go-to-market strategies, the session explores where synergies and dissonance are emerging between regions; how East Asian & similar APAC markets are interpreting U.S. trends, and how those signals are being read (or missed) in return. Designed for founders, investors, and startup ecosystem stakeholders, this event offers a tactical, real-time lens into one of the world’s most dynamic cross-border innovation zones.
Key Insights Include:
⭐ Dealmaking across East Asia and the wider APAC region — from shifting investor appetites to where capital is actually flowing.
⭐ Real contrasts in customer behavior between markets — what buyers expect, how they convert, and where assumptions break down.
⭐ Cross-border GTM strategies that actually work — the plays founders and teams are adapting (or discarding) as they expand.
⭐ Talent and hiring tactics that travel — what’s proving effective when building across geographies and cultures.
