David meets Goliath: Japan and Korea make startups work with large conglomerates in a twist on the Silicon Valley model

Abstract

We all know how things work in Silicon Valley. Brilliant individuals with great ideas disrupt whole industries: Uber and public transport, Tesla and car-making, even Microsoft and the workplace itself. Older incumbents won’t, and can’t, adapt with the times—and so they disappear, replaced by the firms of today and tomorrow. It’s the way tech hubs are supposed to work.

Except it isn't.
