<\/p>\nOur COO, Omori, spoke at the "Africa Business Matching Seminar in Kenya," held in Nairobi, Kenya from January 27th to 28th, 2020!<\/p>\n
On the day of the seminar, more than 60 companies participated, including Japanese companies and local Kenyan companies.
\nPresentations by Japanese companies for their Japanese subsidiaries in Kenya,
\nJapanese companies and Kenyan companies each gave presentations on their respective initiatives.<\/p>\n
Most of the participants were from JICA, JETRO, banks, VCs, and small and medium-sized manufacturing companies; surprisingly, our company was the only startup!
\nIt was a great honor to give a presentation as a representative of a Japanese startup company.<\/p>\n
This seminar clarified the challenge that many small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) engaged in export businesses to Africa are indeed struggling with cash flow, and it reinforced the need for SHC (Small Business Health Coverage).<\/p>\n
Furthermore, it appears that there are no actual business applications of cryptocurrency in Kenya.
\nOur company aims to be the first to implement this technology, and we hope to widely inform Japanese companies considering doing business with Africa about the advantages of blockchain and cryptocurrencies, ultimately contributing to supporting local businesses.<\/p>\n
