Equity exchange, network and mentorship support will provide HAKOVO a springboard to develop its service for global markets.
HAKOVO PTE. LTD. (HAKOVO) has been selected by PSA unboXed for its incubator program. PSA unboXed will invest in and nurture HAKOVO by providing funding, mentorship, network and workspace to the company.
“The equity exchange and strategic partnership between us is a key milestone. More importantly, it will be great exposure for HAKOVO Ecosystem in Singapore and ASEAN at this initial stage. With PSA unboXed’s support and network, we can fast-track our eventual goal to expand to the other Asia Pacific and global markets,” said Takayuki Akahodani, Founder and CEO at HAKOVO.
Through PSA unboXed, HAKOVO has access to PSA’s expertise and network to develop and test-bed the HAKOVO Ecosystem at PSA’s flagship operations in Singapore – one of the world’s largest hub centers for container movement. HAKOVO will also have the opportunity to springboard to the global maritime supply chain, alongside PSA International’s network of terminals worldwide.
Elton Fong, Team Lead of PSA unboXed, said, “HAKOVO’s value proposition is to offer customers competitive freight prices via quotations and comparisons, freight aggregation, as well as other features that will be shared once HAKOVO goes live. The digital platform is easy to use, and customers – especially SMEs – will reap the benefits of using HAKOVO as it helps to save time, cost and resources.”
