Went to japan for undergrad 2011-2015 Japanese school system is quite different from western one in the way that people don't do as much to prepare for career directly. Tech companies here plan to train the students on-site.(My friend who went to top graduate school in robotics now work on automobile. And another worked on speakers.) On the other hand, soft skills such as teamwork are valued much more. All this make engineering major in japan much less instance than those in the states. Students join baseball clubs and such to practice the soft skills. Hence, his statement about the potential of startup coming out of Japanese universities is on point. Feel free to ask if you have more questions.
