Japan Southeast Asia Innovation Platform (JSIP)
Overview of Consortium Companies and key terms

What is JSIP

JSIP is a “Co-creation” community platform designed to accelerate the launch and expansion of new businesses for Japanese companies operating in Southeast Asia.

By bringing together people with similar missions and enabling them to collaborate organically across industry, sector and organizational boundaries, we are building a foundation in Singapore that will dramatically accelerate the growth of new businesses in Southeast Asia.
In particular, by precisely addressing the seven key challenges (please refer to the HP) that many companies tackling new businesses face during the start-up phase, we aim to not only drastically shorten the preparation period required for start-up, but also to encourage the active sharing of success and failure cases within the community, and to constantly update the community platform itself.

What is a Consortium Company

Consortium Companies are corporate members who agree with the concept of the JSIP and are willing to actively leverage the platform to accelerate their innovations and new businesses more effectively.

Although the JSIP is not a commercial platform and is fundamentally built on the contributions of community participants towards the realisation of the above vision, there are costs associated with platform operation (quality maintenance, additional development, content creation, event management, etc.). Consortium Companies are therefore required to contribute to membership costs in return for the benefits of membership (see below for details).

JSIP VALUE

JSIP values the following three values and would only invite companies and individuals who share these concepts and principles to join JSIP.

  • Commons Driven: We will foster a culture that values objectives that goes beyond the boundaries of organizations and industries, rather than being limited to the objectives of a company and its individuals.
  • The Power of Community: We believe that innovation can happen when people connect with each other and share essential knowledge, including tacit knowledge. Therefore, we aim to create a community with psychological safety where hints and small buds of innovation can grow.
  • Co-creation: We value the mindset of creating together by proactively sharing ideas, information, networks and experience with the community.
