IPPO Expands to Fukuoka with New Branch

IPPO, a Tokyo-based company specializing in office relocation services for startups and venture businesses, has officially announced the opening of its new branch in Fukuoka on September 1, 2025. This strategic move aims to better support local entrepreneurs and strengthen their foothold in regional markets.

Background of Establishing Fukuoka Branch

In recent years, Fukuoka has seen a surge in newly established businesses and startups. With its vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem, the city attracts many companies, including those headquartered in Tokyo, which are now establishing branches in Fukuoka. The local potential and enthusiasm among entrepreneurs have particularly stood out; thus, IPPO has decided to take this opportunity to plant its roots firmly in the region.

At IPPO, we envision ourselves as more than just an office relocation intermediary. Our goal is to accompany businesses on their journey as they take their first steps toward growth in a new environment. By establishing a base in Fukuoka, we can provide closer, more comprehensive support to startups that are passionate about launching their ventures locally and competing independently of Tokyo.

The Role of “Haitte” in Supporting Office Relocations

With the new branch, the company will also launch its media platform, Haitte, focusing on information about vacant offices and helpful resources for businesses seeking office setups in Fukuoka and surrounding areas. Haitte offers guidance for businesses considering flexible, shared, or fully furnished office arrangements, ensuring a cost-effective relocation process for startups.

The office relocation service through Haitte allows clients to reduce initial costs effectively. For instance:

• - Zero relocation costs: Potentially, the transition to a new location can come at no expense due to pre-existing office setups and furnishings.
• - Reduced moving time: That means less downtime for your business, leading to a quicker return to normal operations.
• - Contribution to SDGs: Adopting office relocations aligns with sustainable practices, thereby beneficial for the environment.

This combination of flexibility and economic viability aims to create win-win situations for both incoming and outgoing tenants, revolutionizing how office relocations are viewed in Fukuoka.

Local Support and Infrastructure Development

Fukuoka has recently made significant investments into urban infrastructure, including projects like Tenjin Big Bang and Hakata Connected, designed to stimulate business growth in the city. Our CEO, Mr. Hidetaka Sekiguchi, states that these developments further elevate the appeal of Fukuoka as a favorable environment for startups.

Moreover, Fukuoka's proactive government policies towards the startup ecosystem enhance the region’s attractiveness, making it an increasingly viable option for businesses looking to expand outside Tokyo. Mr. Sekiguchi believes that our exhaustive services focused on fostering startup growth and smooth transitions utilizing pre-furnished properties will become essential as demand continues to rise in this region.

Conclusion

IPPO aims to be the driving force behind the changing dynamics of the office relocation market while supporting local startups with all the resources they need to thrive. As we embark on this new journey in Fukuoka, we are committed to providing tailored solutions that meet the unique needs of this vibrant business community. Together, we will take that first step forward from Fukuoka, creating new possibilities for growth and innovation.
