Taiwan's XRSPACE held its first AI-avatar developer workshop at the Startup Island Taiwan-Tokyo Hub in Hamamatsucho on June 24, warming up for an August 8 'Perxona Hackathon' to grow an AI developer community in Japan. The story is a real case of a Taiwanese startup landing in Japan: a Tokyo hub is infrastructure for Taiwan-Japan tech ties, and pairing a workshop with a hackathon is the classic platform play, nurturing a community and talent around its avatar platform rather than selling a product. For readers, Taiwan-Japan startup links are moving from slogans to physical bases, giving Taiwanese teams a foothold in Japan; and AI avatars, blending generative AI, real-time interaction and IP, are fertile ground in a market that embraces virtual idols and VTubers. Watch the hackathon's scale, whether the community sticks, and whether such collaboration becomes routine.
