\nOne of Japan’s biggest web industry events is the so-called Infinity Ventures Summit<\/a> (IVS), a two-day, invitation-only event that takes place twice a year (Asiajin is a media partner). The fall event will happen in Kyoto next week, namely on December 7 and 8.
\nOrganized by VC firm Infinity Venture Partners<\/a>, the IVS this time has over 500 people on the guest list: for example, i-mode creator Takeshi Natsuno, Groupon CEO Andrew Mason, or GREE CEO Yoshikazu Tanaka, to name just a few (yours truly will be there as well).
\nThere will also be a launchpad giving a total of 14 new and existing startups the chance to set out pitches (a panel of 10 judges will then select a winner and four runners up).
\nHere’s a (very) quick preview of all 14 demos we’ll see at the IVS next week- as tweeted<\/a> out by Infinity Venture Partner Masashi Kobayashi yesterday:
\nDemo 1: VoiSticky<\/a> (voice memo system that visualizes recordings as “stickies in a virtual space”)
\nDemo 2: Energy Literacy Platform <\/a>(system to keep track of how much energy people use at home)
\nDemo 3: Gazopa<\/a> (similar image search engine developed by Hitachi America)
\nDemo 4: Lingo Project<\/a> (text correction tool to check the grammar and vocabulary in English sentences typed in a browser in real time)
\nDemo 5: Questetra BPM Suite SaaS Edition<\/a> (business process management suite)
\nDemo 6: New service by Togetter<\/a> creator Toshiaki Yoshida<\/a>
\nDemo 7: MCS Elements 2010<\/a> by Ubiquitous Entertainment<\/a> (iPad app (iTunes<\/a>) containing data from “the first large-scale investigation of internet and contents consumption in Japan” by major publishing company ASCII Media Works<\/a>)
\nDemo 8: FlashInFlash (server solution for Flash developers by i-Broadcast<\/a>)
\nDemo 9: Odette Solution by Orso <\/a>(CMS for mobile Flash applications)
\nDemo 10: Hatena Koko<\/a> (Hatena’s LBS offering)
\nDemo 11: AndFriends <\/a>(social app search service for Android users by milog<\/a>)
\nDemo 12: Cheerz (service that adds social elements to web sites by Klab<\/a>)
\nDemo 13: Botspace<\/a> (a “communication tool”)
\nDemo 14: New service by web marketing company hottolink <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
