GGA Conducts Successful Overseas Market Workshop to Japan

Global Gateway Advisors Pte. Ltd. (GGA), a consultancy firm specializing in international expansion throughout the Asia-Pacific region, recently facilitated the Overseas Market Workshop to Japan 2025 (OMW). This event, organized in collaboration with the Singapore Business Federation (SBF), offered a unique five-day program focused on eco-innovation and sustainable technology. It took place from April 21 to 25, 2025, featuring a delegation of 14 representatives from Singapore visiting companies in Osaka, Kyoto, and Hyogo.

The workshop’s theme centered around “Eco-Innovation and Sustainable Technology,” aligning with Japan’s ongoing efforts towards reducing environmental impact and fostering resource efficiency. Japanese companies shared various sustainable practices and innovations with the visiting delegation, providing insight into successful implementation strategies and current trends in sustainable technologies.

Key Highlights of the Workshop

The workshop featured several components, including:
1. Participation in the “EXPO2025 Commemorative Symposium: Future of Japan-ASEAN” organized by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce.
2. A tour of the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 venue.
3. Visits to 12 different companies specializing in eco-innovation.
4. A networking dinner aimed at fostering relationships between participants and Japanese businesses.

This multi-faceted approach not only equipped participants with valuable knowledge but also deepened their understanding of sustainable innovations within Japan, assisting them in aligning with the Singapore government’s Green Plan 2030.

In-Depth Learning Experience

During the OMW, the Singaporean delegates engaged with various sustainable techniques and strategies employed by Japanese firms. The focus on environmental policies and practices served as a foundational step for participants looking to implement similar sustainable business models back home. Attendees discussed how renewable energy and resource recycling can be applied within their own companies.

Participants experienced hands-on interactions with green technology products, fostering an environment of inquiry and practical learning. Each company visit included presentations complemented by facility tours that highlighted innovative approaches to eco-innovation and sustainability.

Networking and Collaboration

GGA organized a networking dinner in Kobe, where representatives from Singapore engaged in informal discussions with their Japanese counterparts. This setting encouraged free-flowing conversations and the exchange of ideas, expanding opportunities for potential collaboration in both regions. The informal atmosphere enhanced mutual understanding and laid the foundation for future partnerships.
