Japanese SMEs, boasting world-class technology, are facing a crisis. The issue is twofold: not only are their managers and engineers ageing, but the declining birth rate means there’s a shortage of young Japanese talent to inherit these technologies. However, this presents an opportunity for your company. You can adopt these world-class technologies from Japanese SMEs. They could also be potential targets for corporate acquisitions, providing a gateway for your company to penetrate the Japanese market. We invite you to share a manufacturing challenge that your company is finding difficult to overcome. In Japan, numerous small and medium-sized enterprises are eager to tackle such challenges. This not only provides solutions but also aids in the training of young engineers. Phase 1 (Complimentary or a nominal fee of USD 500) Initially, we request you to provide us with 1) the specific technical issue you’re facing, 2) the goods, products, or components you wish to enhance with this technology, and 3) the anticipated transaction value. We will then identify and reach out to 1-2 SMEs possessing the relevant technology. This process typically takes about two weeks. Please note, to prevent any misuse of this service, we reserve the right to decline the request at this stage. Complimentary when no candidate comes up. Phase 2 (USD 1,500-5,000 per technology per company) Upon identifying prospective companies, we progress to this phase. Following the signing of a consultancy agreement with your company, we will reveal the partner company and facilitate a meeting between both parties. Phase 3 (Contingency Fee) Should you and the Japanese company choose to collaborate, a new consultancy agreement is signed between us. We then negotiate the terms and conditions with the Japanese company. Upon reaching an agreement, a contract is signed between you and the Japanese company. We bring to the table our extensive experience in contract drafting. A success fee is levied upon the conclusion of the negotiations. We continue to oversee the relationship with the Japanese company, for which a monthly fee is charged. Please note, any costs associated with trial production or similar activities with the Japanese company will be borne separately by your company.
