Technology and Business Partnership Newsletter Program
Our technology and business partnership newsletter program introduces companies in North America and their technologies to as many as 4000 potential partners and customers in the Fukuoka region. Interested companies can complete the
submission request form at the right of this page with information about their company, products, and the type of business relationship sought (distributor, technology partner, customer, etc.). Invest Fukuoka North America translates the information into Japanese and distributes it to companies in Fukuoka through a combination of print and electronic media. This is a free service.
Client & Partner Introductions
Invest Fukuoka North America has been introducing North American companies to potential partners and clients in Fukuoka for over 4 years. We have assisted companies in the EDA, network security, design, software, environmental technologies, and microelectronics manufacturing industries. After an initial screening, our staff contacts potential client and/or partnership candidates in Fukuoka. If there is mutual interest, we can arrange face-to-face meetings with the companies in Fukuoka.
