Technology-hungry Japanese firms are being matched with startups in India as Japan looks toward innovation to revitalize its aging population and mature industrialized economy.

Two Indian startups will participate in the first Well Aging Society Summit Asia-Japan in Tokyo on Oct. 9, an international conference where large companies, startups, investors and government officials will discuss global health care issues.

In February next year, a Japanese "internet of things" mission will visit the southern Indian city of Bengaluru, known as India's tech capital, to explore a possible collaboration.
