[Report] Attending an International Conference of Some 2,000 Business Leaders in the Philippines — Building Momentum for Stronger Ties with Japan

Our CEO, Kaz Shingo, took part in one of Asia’s largest international business-matching conferences, held in Bonifacio Global City, Manila, the Philippines.

The conference brought together more than 2,000 business leaders from over ten countries for lively cross-border business matching. On-site, we connected directly with influential leaders from various countries seeking stronger ties with Japan, and laid the groundwork with companies looking to expand their business across fields ranging from manufacturing to distribution.

Building on the network gained at this conference, we will continue to actively promote the Asian expansion of Japanese companies and the introduction of outstanding products from around Asia into the Japanese market.

As a tool to support the “next step” after such overseas encounters, we also publish our Global Trade-Show Database. It lets you search 1,374 international trade fairs across 15 countries — 11 in Asia plus 4 in Europe and North America — by country, industry, and month, in Japanese, and provides one-stop support from selecting where to exhibit to on-site interpretation. If you are considering exhibiting or visiting exhibitions overseas, please make use of it as well.

To everyone we had the pleasure of connecting with, thank you very much.
