QuikBot Technologies has been selected as one of 12 overseas startups invited to pitch at GLOBAL BIG MARKET (GBM) 2026, a flagship cross-border innovation event organised by Plug and Play Japan under Fukuoka Prefecture’s Overseas Startup Attraction Promotion Program.

GBM brings together high-potential startups from across Asia with enterprises in Fukuoka and the wider Kyushu region to explore concrete collaboration opportunities, pilots, and pathways into the Japanese market.

Why QuikBot
QuikBot is building an interoperable operations platform powered by robotics and agentic AI, designed to eliminate inefficiencies in last-mile logistics within dense urban and commercial environments. The platform enables different robots, systems, and workflows to operate together seamlessly, supporting the transition from isolated pilots to scalable, enterprise-grade deployment.

Relevance for Japan
As Japan accelerates automation across logistics, smart buildings, healthcare, and urban services, the challenge is no longer access to robots, but orchestration, interoperability, and operational trust. QuikBot addresses this gap through real-world deployments, compliance-aware workflows, and integration designed for enterprise environments.
