NEW YORK, NY, USA, January 5, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- ShowStoppers^® will introduce 25 companies from Japan with new tech for work, home and play to journalists around the world during a digital event that streams Thursday, 7 January, at 11 am EST.

The product launches by the Japanese startups encompass a range of categories – including AI, health, wearables, robotics, IoT, smart home, transportation, blockchain, energy, and space tech, as well as anti-coronavirus technologies.

“We are proud to present an extensive lineup of novel technologies from Japan, all of which have the potential to transform the way people live around the world,” said JETRO Executive Vice President Ichiro Sone. “J-Startup companies’ record turnout for CES 2021 reflects their enthusiasm for using CES as the launching pad to expand their businesses globally. It’s also a testament to the governmental policies that are designed to boost innovation activities.”

One of five episodes of ShowStoppers timed for the new product cycle that begins with the start of the new year and all-digital CES, the episode features startups and companies selected by ShowStoppers partner JETRO, https://www.jetro.go.jp, the Japan External Trade Organization, a Japanese government organization that assists startups in expanding to global markets.

More than 1,000 journalists from 70 countries are already pre-registered to attend the events.

Seven companies will make presentations:

• First Ascent, https://ainenne.com, introduces ainenne, the first bed lamp type sleep trainer to help your baby sleep in the world. It provides your baby with a comfortable sleep rhythm based on big data about childcare. An alarm function with an LED light mimics sunlight at the recommended wake-up time, because the human circadian rhythm is reset by light. So, parents can wake up their babies at the time they are supposed to be waking up and get into a good rhythm without difficulty.
