Company Visits with Our Taiwanese Partner

Today, we had the pleasure of visiting two leading Japanese companies together with our guest from Taiwan.

As a gateway through Sapporo Transnational Expansion and Partnership (STEP) for welcoming international businesses to Japan, we believe it is essential for us to develop a deep understanding of the technologies and strengths of Japanese companies. Only with this knowledge can we accurately connect them with outstanding overseas partners.

By learning where domestic companies excel and which industries they are advancing, we can confidently introduce them to high-potential international firms. This process forms the foundation of our work in fostering meaningful cross-border partnerships.

We are continually inspired by the dedication and passion of both Japanese and international companies as they pursue impactful business goals. Every visit offers valuable insights and learning opportunities.

Today's visits included the headquarters of one of the largest Japanese energy firms and the hub of global research, development, and co-creation in Akishima hosted by one of the largest water treatment chemicals, equipment, and maintenance services providers in Japan. We sincerely thank both companies for their warm hospitality.

The Innovation Hub itself was particularly striking, with an architectural design inspired by waterfalls. It was fascinating to learn how the purity of water plays a critical role in the miniaturization of many everyday devices, including smartphones. Witnessing the true potential of water technology was both impressive and humbling.
