On August 21st, Kobe Biomedical Innovation Cluster (KBIC) welcomed a business delegation centered around Taipei City, Taiwan. On that day, an MOU was signed between Century Biotech Development Company (CBDC) and Foundation for Biomedical Research and Innovation at Kobe (FBRI), with the aim to support companies from both clusters that are interested in expanding into Japan and Tiwan, jointly provide opportunities for interaction between companies and stakeholders from both clusters, and create new business opportunities.
Both parties will continue to exchange information and provide updates on business expansion support programs, useful information and specific action plans to promote continued mutual collaboration.

Following the signing ceremony, a networking event was hosted by CBDC and FBRI, where invited Taiwan and KBIC companies gathered. Approximately 50 participants attended the event and each of the companies introduced their businesses, followed by a networking session during which participants exchanged business cards and engaged in active discussion.

This opportunity served as the kickoff for long-term exchanges between Taiwan and KBIC.
