What happens when Malaysian startups meet Fukuoka?
This week, Kuala Lumpur became a meeting point for Malaysian startups, the Fukuoka City Government, and members of the Ramen Tech & Co Live ecosystem at Startups Meet Fukuoka: Pitch for Ramen Tech 2026.
Remote Work Malaysia was pleased to host the event together with representatives from the Fukuoka City Government and the Ramen Tech & Co Live organisers.
The event brought together a full house of startup founders, entrepreneurs, remote workers, business professionals, and members of the local ecosystem.
Four Malaysian startups took the stage to pitch their businesses and explore opportunities to connect with the Japanese market.
A big congratulations to cinch, our pitch winner! They will be heading to Fukuoka to experience Ramen Tech 2026.
We would also like to thank everyone who joined us, as well as our judges, speakers, partners, and participating startups. Special thanks to ARTEM PACE Ventures, WORQ Bandar Utama, Cradle, and Fukuoka City Government for their support.
Connecting people and opportunities across borders
For us, the event was about more than a pitch competition.
It was another example of how people, startups, and businesses are increasingly looking beyond their home markets to find new opportunities, build connections, and work across borders.
And this is also where Remote Work Malaysia is heading.
Remote Work Malaysia started by connecting remote workers with work-friendly spaces in Klang Valley. Today, we are expanding that network to connect people, companies, and workspaces across Malaysia — and increasingly across borders.
One team. More places to work.
For companies, work is no longer limited to one office.
Employees may work from home, travel for business, spend time in different cities, or simply need a professional place to focus outside the office.
Remote Work Malaysia’s B2B service helps companies give their teams access to a growing network of workspaces, without having to manage multiple workspace arrangements themselves.

We are also expanding our network of workspaces beyond Klang Valley.
If you operate a coworking space, work-friendly cafe, hotel, or another workspace and would like to reach more remote workers and businesses, we would love to hear from you.

From Malaysia to Fukuoka — and beyond
The possibility of connecting Malaysian users with workspaces in Fukuoka is an exciting example of where this network could go next.
As people and businesses become increasingly mobile, access to a place to work should not be limited by city or national borders.
More events, partnerships, and cross-border opportunities are coming.
