Our Services
We support companies in concretely implementing business projects between Japan and Germany – not only at a conceptual level, but in practical execution.
Our work is based on a deep understanding of both Japanese and German business cultures.
Market Entry & Business Development
Typical Situation
You are planning to expand into the German or Japanese market – but it is unclear where real potential exists and how to take the first step.
What we do in practice
- Identification of relevant market segments and specific target customers
- Conducting interviews with potential customers, distribution partners, or industry experts in the target market
- Direct collection of feedback on your product, positioning, and pricing
- Creation of a structured list of target companies including relevant contacts
- Support with initial outreach (e.g. email, LinkedIn, appointment setting)
Result
You gain a realistic understanding of the market along with concrete starting points for initial business opportunities.
Sales & Trade Fairs
Typical Situation
You invest time and budget in trade fairs or sales activities – but tangible results remain limited or difficult to evaluate.
What we do in practice
- Analysis of existing trade fair contacts and prioritization of relevant leads based on actual interest, potential, and strategic relevance
- Preparation of structured conversation guidelines for customer meetings including key arguments, typical questions, and possible objections
- Support in targeted customer outreach – on-site or afterwards including active participation in discussions or direct contact
- Follow-up of contacts and coordination of next steps including reminders, alignment, and ensuring progress
- Participation in customer meetings including intercultural alignment to avoid misunderstandings and keep discussions focused
- Delivery of practical workshops and seminars in the context of trade fairs
(e.g. for Japanese companies preparing for the German market and engaging potential customers effectively)
Result
Contacts are turned into structured follow-up actions and concrete business opportunities.
Implementation & Project Management
Typical Situation
Projects between Japan and Germany start well – but lose momentum or stall during execution.
What we do in practice
- Regular coordination with all stakeholders and structured follow-up of open topics ensuring that agreed actions are actually implemented
- Active driving of topics between Japanese and German teams (e.g. clarifying open questions, obtaining feedback, defining next steps)
- Resolution of delays, misunderstandings, or open issues through direct coordination
- Support in the execution of specific measures (e.g. IT, process, or marketing-related activities) when additional operational support is required
Result
Projects are not only planned but are actively managed and successfully implemented.
Collaboration, Processes & Coordination
Typical Situation
Collaboration between Japanese and German teams generally works – but in practice, delays, misunderstandings, or inefficiencies occur repeatedly.
What we do in practice
- Analysis of specific collaboration issues (e.g. unclear processes, lack of responsibilities, or decision delays)
- Delivery of practical workshops and seminars on working with Japanese or German business partners
- Structuring coordination processes between teams in Japan and Germany
- Direct support in day-to-day communication (e.g. preparation, participation, and follow-up of meetings with clear next steps)
- Coordination with internal and external partners (in particular in collaboration with the Japan Desk of PWWL)
- Resolution of culturally driven misunderstandings based on real project situations (e.g. differences in expectations regarding decision-making, communication styles, or responsibilities)
Result
Collaboration becomes more structured, misunderstandings are reduced, and projects can be executed efficiently and reliably.
