(Minato-ku, Tokyo, CEO: Akinori Adachi, hereinafter referred to as Standage), which provides end-to-end support for companies expanding overseas, will be holding a free seminar on Friday, March 3rd for companies considering entering the export business to explain the key points and precautions for developing overseas sales channels.

Due to the shrinking domestic demand and the sudden depreciation of the yen that occurred last year, an increasing number of small and medium-sized enterprises are keen to expand their sales channels overseas.
However, developing sales channels for exports poses high barriers in terms of cost, language, and other practical knowledge, and the reality is that there are still many businesses that say, "I don't know what to do."
For this seminar, we have invited Mr. Negoro, Director of the International Department at the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, who provides daily support to small and medium-sized enterprises in expanding their businesses and developing new markets, as our guest. He will provide a thorough explanation of how to get started in trading while resolving any concerns or worries that may be raised by small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to expand overseas.
