Poland, a dynamic business hub, showcases domestic innovations at two large-scale trade fairs in Japan – Japan IT Week Spring 2024 and SusHi Tech Tokyo 2024. When it comes to the IT sector, Poland stands out due to a large pool of educated workers – according to IT Competitiveness Index, the country held 1st position in the Talent component. Moreover, the value of Polish export of ICT services is estimated to reach nearly 12bn EUR by 2026, which signifies an average annual growth rate of around 3.6%. The data shows that the Polish IT sector has a lot of potential, so it was high time to present it to the Japanese audience.
At this year’s Japan IT Week held on 24-26 April, the Tokyo Office of the Polish Investment & Trade Agency (PAIH) organized the Polish National Pavilion where the following eight companies exhibited their IT solutions: DCD Digital Core Design, Enigma, modue, N-iX, Orbitvu, Procurence Meercat, TenderHut, and Virbe. The Polish Pavilion stood out with a wide range of technologies addressed to customers looking for software and hardware. The objective of the Polish presence at the trade fair was to strengthen the position of Poland as a highly- advanced technological hub. Sustainable High City Tech Tokyo, in short Sushi Tech Tokyo, was another opportunity to promote innovations made in Poland. The event was held on 15 and 16 May where a big platform was given to startups from all over the world. Supported by Tokyo Office of PAIH, the Polish side was represented by a diverse group of innovative startups – Biotts (biotech), Microamp Solutions (telecommunications), and WIDMO (radar technologies). The trade fair constituted a great opportunity to establish new business relationships and conduct B2B meetings. Additionally, Polish entrepreneurs participated in a pitch session organized by the newly opened Tokyo Innovation Base.
