Japanese startups and investors may feel daunted by the thought of language barriers, cultural differences, and not knowing the local business etiquette in Europe. 北欧スタートアップイベント攻略ガイド  “The Survival Guide to Nordic Startup Events” helps them create a strategy for a prosperous trip. In this article, an experienced startup event participant from Japan shares tips in order to succeed in the Nordics.

This guide combines practical advice and deep knowledge of the Nordic startup ecosystem to make the reader more confident at networking, dressing for the climate, navigating conferences, and finding the most relevant opportunities for their business.
