The Bioindustry and BioTech in Japan

Expansion to Japan is an important step for the growth of any enterprise in the Bioindustry. For a BioVenture, Japan should often be the first targeted market. For more mature organizations, Japan is almost always an important targeted market. This means we are used to working with companies of various sizes and levels of maturity. We work with funded near-start-ups as well as Fortune 500 companies and all in between.

The Bioindustry is growing globally and this is true also in Japan. The Biotech scene in Japan is vibrant and there are plenty of reasons why expansion to Japan should be on your wishlist. By 2030, Japan’s Government has pledged to become the World’s leading Bioeconomy.

The Japanese business narrative

Japan is the World’s third-largest economy and justifiably a highly attractive market! Cutting to the chase: Japanese business culture is also quite unique. There are a number of very real obstacles keeping your business from realizing its full potential in Japan. Issues include cultural differences, language, legalities, physical distance, regulatory issues and time zones. Issues vary by industry but always need to be assessed properly. We help you navigate, you make the decisions!

  • There are no Yellow Pages and much in Japan is anything but transparent. LinkedIn is basically useless.
