(Minato-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akinori Adachi; hereinafter referred to as STANDAGE), which provides comprehensive support for companies expanding overseas, and COUXU Co., Ltd. (Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Akihiko Omura; hereinafter referred to as COUXU), which has helped approximately 400 companies expand overseas, will co-host a free seminar on October 12th to explain market trends and conditions for success for companies looking to expand overseas. Due to the shrinking domestic demand and the rapidly depreciating yen, the importance of developing overseas sales channels for companies is increasing day by day. This seminar is highly recommended for business owners and managers who are unsure what to do to expand overseas, or who have tried but failed.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u203b\u203bFor seminar details and registration, please see below.<a href=\"https:\/\/peraichi.com\/landing_pages\/view\/webinar20221012\">Here<\/a><\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u203b\u203b<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Up until now, many Japanese companies have based their operations on the premise of having &quot;products&quot; first in order to distribute their goods.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">At trade shows and cross-border e-commerce events, a wide variety of products are displayed, and buyers select these products; if they are satisfactory, they proceed with the transaction. This process is commonplace.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, in today&#039;s world, where the value of a product is judged not by its &quot;things&quot; but by its &quot;experiences and stories,&quot; it would be reckless to expand into overseas markets without understanding the many differences in local business practices, consumer behavior, tastes, and preferences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Therefore, Standage, which supports expansion into Africa, and COUXU, which supports expansion into East Asia and Southeast Asia,<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&quot;Why is that market so hot right now?&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&quot;What should we do in the Asian region?&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&quot;What is needed in the markets of each country?&quot;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By presenting this information in a panel format, we aim to address your concerns and challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We will also have a Q&amp;A session, so please take this opportunity to participate.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0Recommended for these people<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I want to know what products are in demand from overseas buyers (local companies).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I understand the importance of developing overseas sales channels due to the shrinking domestic demand, but I don&#039;t know what to do specifically.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I&#039;ve been participating in cross-border e-commerce, overseas trade shows, and business meetings, but the results haven&#039;t been as good as I&#039;d hoped.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We want to further enhance the value of our business.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0What you will learn in this seminar<\/b><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Latest overseas market information essential for business and marketing.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Conditions for companies to succeed in overseas expansion<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How to seize opportunities to develop overseas sales channels<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0Seminar Overview<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>schedule    :<\/strong>Wednesday, October 12, 2022 15:00-16:45<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>How to hold the event:<\/strong>online<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">*Details on how to participate will be sent via email at a later date.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Participation fee:<\/strong>free<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Organizer:<\/strong>COUXU Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Co-sponsored by:<\/strong>STANDAGE Co., Ltd.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Application method:<\/strong>Here (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/peraichi.com\/landing_pages\/view\/webinar20221012\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">https:\/\/peraichi.com\/landing_pages\/view\/webinar20221012<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Please apply using the form at the bottom of the page.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>inquiry:<\/strong><a href=\"mailto:info@couxu.jp\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">info@couxu.jp<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>\u25a0Speaker Profile<\/b><\/p>\n<p><b>Kenta Omori (Vice President, STANDAGE Co., Ltd.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After graduating from the University of Tokyo, I joined Itochu Corporation, a general trading company, prioritizing frequent overseas business trips due to my love of traveling abroad.

As a result, in 2017, I co-founded STANDAGE Co., Ltd. with Akinori Adachi (current CEO of STANDAGE).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Currently, as the head of sales\/marketing, he is working daily to develop users and collaborative partners and promote business development.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Akihiko Omura (CEO, COUXU Co., Ltd.)<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since March 2011, I have been working at Alibaba Marketing Co., Ltd., where I am responsible for marketing in Japan for Alibaba.com, which has the world&#039;s largest number of registered B2B (business-to-business) companies.
