Fenetre Partners is a leading consulting firm for market entry into Japan and business development in Japan. We provide our clients with market research, distributor & partner search, B2B business matching, marketing & sales rep and trade support.

　The 3rd biggest market, Japan is still attractive for global industrial players because your potential customers such as automotive, electronics, automation, robotics, healthcare, chemical, etc. are growing by exports and global expansion while the domestic consumer market is shrinking by the three decades stagnant and aging & decreasing population.

 

　There are several options for developing your Japanese customers, which are finding local distributors/agents, setting up your own Japan subsidiary, M&A, JV, licensing and outsourcing of sales & marketing. Each option should have pros and cons, so it’s not easy to make a decision without deep insights and experiences with the Japanese market.

 

　We invite two guest speakers to this webinar for sharing their knowledge and experiences about business development in Japan. Both companies have started working with our firm several years ago and have been growing their Japan business steadily. The two speakers explain what they experienced at the beginning, what options they explored, why they have chosen the current option and what they have got.
