Testimonial
Surprisingly, three Japanese investment firms expressed their intention to invest during the event.
We were able to gain valuable insights and opportunities for business expansion together with Japanese companies.
A Japanese trading company is currently reviewing a potential investment, and through this event, we secured additional opportunities for further investment.
Before coming to Japan, our plans for entering the Japanese market were rather vague. However, through this event, we were able to meet with multiple Japanese companies and develop a more concrete and actionable strategy for entering Japan.
The 2025 Creww Asia Pavilion provided a valuable opportunity to identify priority sales channels, gain insights into industry-specific buyers, and assess market entry potential, while also securing potential buyers.
Through reverse pitching sessions by seven major Japanese corporations, we gained a clear understanding of their mid- to long-term strategies and valuable insights into how to propose meaningful business partnerships. We were especially impressed by the immediate impact, including receiving PoC proposals shortly after the reverse pitching sessions.
