Dubai hosts IT fair for start-ups www3.nhk.or.jp
Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates, is hosting the largest IT fair in the Middle East. This year, hundreds of start-ups are pitching their technologies in a special exhibition.
The emirate has a strategy of investing in venture firms and business innovation, to make up for the lack of income from energy resources.
The first-ever exhibition for start-ups has drawn 400 firms from 60 countries. Seven are from Japan.
One of them is displaying a humanoid robot that can mimic users' facial expressions. Developers said they can also make the robot copy human body movements.
Another Japanese venture has drawn attention for its software that can manage highly detailed physical data of athletes. It is already holding business talks with a local firm.
An official of JETRO, the Japan External Trade Organization, said Dubai is eager to foster venture firms, and is a promising market for Japanese technology.
