Global expansion is a large milestone in the history of a company, one that involves difficult strategic decisions and taking enormous risks. This is especially true when the business goal is to reach a market that looks as distant and as unfamiliar as Japan.
It is often said in general that while Japan may offer great business opportunities, it is not a simple task to enter its market and also survive. Information that may be crucial to making your business last can mostly be found only in Japanese and may seem completely unavailable without understanding Japanese language, culture, and communication networks. On the other hand, collecting up-to-date data and doing local fieldwork is essential for a successful market entry.
And this is why we at Sudy & Co. are offering support to companies who wish to enter the Japanese market by providing market research services, thus helping them map the Japanese market.

We have also supported their POC project with a major Japanese client by helping their communication in Japanese and giving business & intercultural advice.
Results
RVmagnetics has started a POC test project with a well-known Japanese company interested in their technology. A commercial agreement between the two companies is expected to be signed soon.

In the spring of 2018, African swine fever broke out in Hungary. Consequently, Japan banned the importation of Hungarian pork products.
How We Helped
At our own initiative, we started searching for Austrian pork products to sell in Japan via our existing network of importers. We also realized that the regulations in Japan at the time made it possible for Austrian companies to export more beef products, so we explored this business opportunity as well.
Results
Thanks to the good timing of us introducing Marcher, the Austrian food producing company to a Japanese trading company, 250 tons of beef products were sold ever since.

Results
