Jason, representative of Wada FoodTech, participated in the “OIH Global Gateway – Silicon Valley Program,” hosted by Osaka Innovation Hub (OIH) with support from the Osaka City Government, in February 2026. During the two-week program in the Bay Area and Los Angeles, he presented Wada FoodTech’s technology alongside local startups and engaged directly with Silicon Valley investors.

Through pitching sessions and discussions with venture capital (VC) and corporate venture capital (CVC), Jason experienced the fast-paced execution and innovation culture that defines Silicon Valley. Several investors, particularly those with Asian backgrounds, expressed strong interest in hot Asian food solutions, with one remarking, “Jason, please bring Wada FoodTech to the Bay Area. We need hot foods.”

Jason also received presentation advice from Antonio White, CEO of Pitchfreaks! and author of Close with Your Open, gaining valuable insights into Silicon Valley’s founder- support culture as Wada FoodTech continues exploring opportunities in the U.S. market.
