Kokopelli Wins Contract for International Support at Tajimi's 20th Business Matchmaking Event

Kokopelli Wins International Support Contract

Kokopelli, a leading business support platform based in Chiyoda, Tokyo, has recently secured a contract with the city of Tajimi, Gifu Prefecture, to provide international support services at the "20th Business Matchmaking Event." This event is designed to create new partnerships and trading opportunities for local businesses, especially focusing on connecting with foreign markets.

Significance of the Event

The upcoming event, anticipated to occur on October 23, 2023, at the Tajimi Industrial Cultural Center, aims to facilitate interactions between local companies and international buyers, specifically from Thailand. This initiative is aligned with the growing interest of medium to small-sized enterprises in Japan to expand their global footprint, particularly in light of recent economic challenges such as market contraction and weak yen.

Kokopelli’s involvement will include assisting in business matching with Thai buyers, providing necessary support for overseas expansion, and organizing guided tours of businesses and factories in Japan for the visiting Thai companies. The company's CEO, Shigeru Kondo, expressed enthusiasm regarding the role Kokopelli will play in expanding the reach of local SMEs in international markets.

Background for the Initiative

In recent years, many Japanese SMEs have shown increased interest in international business to offset domestic market challenges. However, many face barriers such as the fear of selecting business partners, language obstacles, and the complex logistics involved in international trade. To address these hurdles, Tajimi city has launched this matchmaking event as part of its initiative to provide new avenues for local businesses to tap into international markets.

Recognizing the city's initiative, Kokopelli has decided to leverage its extensive experience in business matching and its robust international network to support this endeavor.
