Why we do Ctrl+F Japan

When I worked in the financial industry, I looked forward to receiving an annual report from headquarters. I could find how the company considers the global market as well as the Japan market. When I searched for "Japan" using Ctrl+F, I found "Japan" would occur less and less each year.

Japan is the worlds third largest economic power, and there are many opportunities that you cannot ignore. But Japan can be a difficult market to break into because of its unique culture and regulations. Businesses may face issues that never happen in their own countries. But Japan still has a lot of room for startups to be competitive locally.

Japan is the best place for overseas companies to consider because there is plenty of “Blue Ocean” uncontested market space and robust market size. We can help you discover Japan's interesting market and opportunities. Also, we would like to introduce the Japanese people to your products and services so we can all enjoy a better life.

Testimonial

Name / Revolut

Taka Doi was an integral part of Revolut’s successful expansion into Japan. He was involved from the beginning, delivering high quality market research and leading several meetings with a number of key government bodies and local partners.

As we started to build a local team he was also able to support our recruitment efforts by drawing on his deep network of bilingual tech talent in Japan. Assistance like this was invaluable in a market which is extremely challenging when it comes to hiring. In the build-up to launch I was impressed by his ability to contribute to the testing of the Revolut app and identifying bugs that needed to be fixed.
