Kenta Omori, co-founder and executive vice president of STANDAGE Inc.

TICAD (Tokyo International Conference on African Development) was established in 1993 and celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. This event is being held to commemorate this milestone, to look back on TICAD's history, and to discuss the future of TICAD and Japan-Africa relations.<\/p>\n

Standage was founded in 2017 and has been developing various products related to digital transformation in the trading industry, including an international trade settlement system that utilizes blockchain and digital currency. In addition, from 2022, we will provide a trade package service called "DigiTrad" for small and medium-sized enterprises aiming to enter the export business, and we are working to contribute to the overseas expansion of domestic companies, regional revitalization, and the expansion of Japan's exports.<\/p>\n

We believe that the main markets for our core international trade settlement system are emerging countries, particularly in Africa. Therefore, we established an office in Nigeria just a few months after our founding. In 2021, we further expanded by establishing local subsidiaries in Kenya, South Africa, and Egypt, and have been working to build our trade with Africa ever since.
\nLeveraging its strengths in the African region, Standage has successfully facilitated the sale of products from companies it supports for export to Africa.<\/p>\n

In this panel discussion, I will share my experiences and insights as a Japanese startup involved in trade with Africa, and discuss the future of TICAD and Japan-Africa relations with the other panelists.<\/p>\n
