Webinar 17: ICT Sector in Japan

How is ICT changing Japan and how can your company play a role in it?

The Japanese Information and Communication Technology industry is 'immense' in many aspects. Given the huge market size and recent slow growth, it can easily be considered “mature” and not so interesting for new market entrants. But under the surface we detect slow but steady changes that are taking place, advances in technical applications, and the continuous introduction of cutting edge technology. And these slow but steady changes offer opportunities to any company that brings value to the table.

In this webinar, we will cover the opportunities in the ICT hardware as well as software and services sectors, with a strong focus on distribution mechanisms and potential pitfalls of teaming up with local partners. We will also discuss the most common strategies in regards to customer and technical support.

The webinar is targeted at EU Small and Medium Sized companies active in the ICT hardware, software or services sector, seeking sales and business development opportunities in the Japanese market for new sales opportunities.

Registrations are open until the 13/06/2014 included.
