On September 17 and 18, the Tokyo Innovation Base (TiB) transformed into a bustling hub of creativity and collaboration. Around 70 startup companies from Taiwan and Japan gathered for the largest Japan-Taiwan startup event. The event attracted over 1,000 participants from diverse sectors, including politics, academia, large businesses, and the media. 

PBMC supported the event by managing media and public relations and overseeing video production.

1: Video Production 

Video production is PBMC’s premium service. Our crew was on site to capture footage for various purposes such as coverage of the exciting happenings at the event, archives, and media distribution.

Our team shot and edited a same-day highlight reel for media distribution to be delivered at the event’s end. We also created a highlight video that was shown at the evening gala party, adding an extra flair to the celebration.

Following the inauguration of Taiwan’s new administration, Minister Liu’s visit to Japan marked a pivotal moment, drawing over 100 journalists to the press conference. PBMC managed all media interactions, event promotion, and PR efforts while arranging exclusive one-on-one interviews with Minister Liu after the conference.

4: PR support on the media’s special website

PBMC launched a dedicated special page on “J-STORIES,” Japan’s first solution-focused media platform, to spotlight the Innovation Summit and highlight its commitment to innovation.

This page highlighted key summit takeaways, including the profiles of featured speakers. By publishing material both before and after the event, the company helped generate excitement and strengthen connections within the Japan-Taiwan startup communities.

Since the Japan-Taiwan Innovation Summit was an onsite-only event, it was essential to convey its rich content to those unable to attend. PBMC supported PR activities by creating and distributing articles, photos, and videos in multiple languages. With this approach, the event’s highlights reached audiences both domestically and internationally.
