Building Trust-Based Partnerships in Sapporo with Taiwanese Innovators

Since yesterday, we have been coordinating a series of meetings between a Taiwanese system development company and local ecosystem partners here in Sapporo.

At Sapporo Transnational Expansion and Partnership (STEP), the business center that we are part of, we take a unique — and sometimes very hands-on — approach to supporting companies. This style differs greatly from that of many other regions in Japan.

Our business meetings often take place in a warm, almost home-like atmosphere. Rather than cautious exchanges, discussions are filled with genuine curiosity and openness. People are not simply looking to make business contacts; they are sincerely interested in becoming long-term partners.

We are deeply grateful to all of our local partners who make this kind of welcoming, trust-based collaboration possible. It is this spirit that makes Sapporo’s ecosystem truly special.
