TheNewGate Recognized as Official Partner for Shopee in Southeast Asia

Introduction

The NewGate, a rising IT venture based in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, has achieved a significant milestone by being certified as an official support partner for Shopee, one of the largest e-commerce platforms in Southeast Asia. This certification, effective from October 20, 2025, positions The NewGate uniquely within the Shopee Japan ecosystem as the sole partner providing store support services. This partnership aims to facilitate the expansion of Japanese businesses into international markets, particularly in Southeast Asia.

Shopee: A Leader in E-commerce

Shopee stands out as a leading online marketplace, boasting over 300 million active users annually across Southeast Asia and Taiwan. The platform is recognized for its user-friendly interface and extensive range of products, making it a vital player in the e-commerce landscape. With the rise of digital commerce, Shopee provides an effective avenue for businesses looking to increase their presence in the rapidly growing Southeast Asian market.

Addressing Domestic Challenges

As Japan faces declining population and an aging society, the challenge of shrinking domestic market presents significant obstacles, especially for local businesses and SMEs. These companies often possess unique technologies and attractive local products, but many struggle to enter overseas markets due to limited access to distribution channels. The NewGate is committed to creating an environment that better supports these businesses by streamlining their entry into foreign markets. Their comprehensive offerings include support for product registration, translation, promotion, logistics, and payment solutions, all aimed at simplifying the complexities of cross-border e-commerce.

Comprehensive Support Through「makevi」

The NewGate has developed a dedicated service named「makevi」to assist clients in their Shopee ventures. This service aims to reduce barriers to entry in international sales, offering a one-stop solution for all the necessary processes involved in global e-commerce. With strong marketing acumen and creative strategies, The NewGate enhances the chances of success for Japanese companies venturing beyond domestic borders.

Recognition of Expertise

The certification as an official partner by Shopee acknowledges The NewGate's established expertise in digital marketing, innovative creativity, and a proven track record in international sales. By collaborating with Shopee Japan from its early stages, The NewGate has gathered valuable experience in store support and procurement strategy planning, which will further drive their mission to support a wider array of Japanese businesses in their overseas endeavors.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead, The NewGate aims to contribute to the sustainable growth of regional industries by broadening the market reach of Japanese products. They seek to challenge the notion that international sales are only for select companies and work towards creating an environment where all businesses can engage in global markets. By nurturing these opportunities, The NewGate envisions a future where Japanese craftsmanship thrives worldwide.
