After more than 10 years of business slump in Japan and worldwide, many high-tech industries are desperately trying to survive and hopefully become competitive. However, through various major restructuring processes over years, many such high-tech industries have drastically cut investment into R&D that had stayed about 10% of revenue for many years, in order to achieve the "black ink" business result. However, this "cut of R&D" results in the failure of new innovations from inside R&D, causing the danger of "cut the future growth". Now more and more innovations are born at many global ventures. So, these high-tech industries need to get such innovation seeds from global ventures. On the other hand, after the outbreak of the bubble of high-tech electronics ventures during the last few years, high-tech ventures have been striving hard to find strong companies that can manufacture the technologies developed by these venture companies. Especially, many such ventures have tried to access Japanese companies to achieve successful alliance and/or exit. However, the difference in culture and management structure blocked the smooth interactions between such ventures and Japanese companies. Especially, it was very difficult to realize direct face-to-face meetings. Author started a new innovative scheme "GVIN=Global Ventures Industries Network" to provide "Ba"-opportunity and place - of direct interactions between the top of both global ventures and Japanese companies. Direct interactions are achieved by means of forums - presentations by ventures to senior people in industries people - and "face-to-face meetings" between two parties. The emphasis is on the latter. GVIN started in April of 2002 and gradually got attention and participation of global ventures. Through the actual hands-on management of GVIN from the start to the present stage, the author experienced many issues, especially those related to cultural difference - culture based on nation, large companies, east and west. Overcoming such issues is not easy, but essential to realize true success of GVIN - providing "Ba" of direct interactions between global ventures and Japanese industries. This paper will describe the actual experience of starting and managing a new innovative scheme "GVIN" to provide such "Ba".
