Introduction
Kokopelli, a Tokyo-based company, has officially launched 'BIG ADVANCE GLOBAL,' a new platform aimed at facilitating international business matching for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Japan. This initiative, introduced in partnership with Tajima Shinkin Bank, comes at a time when many Japanese SMEs are seeking to expand their market reach overseas due to domestic market contraction and the depreciation of the yen.
Platform Overview
The 'BIG ADVANCE GLOBAL' platform provides tools for Japanese SMEs to connect with international partners, overcoming barriers such as language and trade practices. The goal is to help these companies not only explore new markets but also innovate by collaborating with each other on a global scale.
Addressing Challenges in International Expansion
Many SMEs in Japan face challenges when trying to expand internationally. These include uncertainties in selecting reliable partners, language barriers, and the complexities of trade logistics. Kokopelli created 'BIG ADVANCE GLOBAL' to address these challenges and empower businesses to confidently explore and expand their international operations.
