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.

 

　However, the business culture and market structure in Japan are very tricky. Japanese customers prefer long term relationship with their current suppliers and usually hesitate replacing them by a new foreign supplier even though your products are innovative. This market entry barrier deters global business development managers from investing in the Japanese market.

 

　We invite a guest speaker to this webinar for sharing his knowledge and experience about business development in Japan. Sy-Klone International has started working with our firm 9 years ago and have been growing its Japan business steadily. Mr. Jeff Moredock will explain why he made a decision of investing in business development in Japan, what kind of challenges he faced and finally what he has got.
