Reve 21 & Dignitana: A Model for Japan - Sweden Collaboration
The Investment Office at Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo is the office in Japan of Invest in Sweden Agency (ISA). One of its core missions is to encourage Japanese companies to take advantage of the business opportunities in Sweden stemming from exciting new technology coming up through venture company spin offs from academic research at Swedish Universities.
Hans Rhodiner, Industrial Counsellor at Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo and head of ISA Japan, says that "the collaboration just established between Reve 21 and Dignitana AB is a model example of what we believe is a very successful way for a small Swedish venture company to get access to both capital and competence in Japan while at the same time providing a major Japanese company with an exciting new product and technology. It is a clear Win-Win situation".
Given this situation, its only natural that the announcement of this collaboration between Reve 21 and Dignitina AB will be officially announced at a press conference at Embassy of Sweden in Tokyo on July 28th from 3PM.
