[Article Excerpt] Rocketpunch, a business networking platform, held the global IT conference ‘Rising Startup Concert 4 – Rising to Global’. The event was organized to share business know-how from global companies with startups hoping to expand overseas, and to provide expert mentoring and networking opportunities.

The Rising Startup Concert, held annually since 2020, was conducted in the metaverse and on online live platforms until last year, but this year it was held as an offline event. This was to facilitate more effective information sharing and networking. The theme was chosen as ‘overseas expansion’, a topic that startup officials have recently shown great interest in.
