Frontier to Share "Selection Criteria for Japanese Companies" with Overseas Tech Firms at JICA Seminar, Leveraging Over 140,000 Matching Insights!

Frontier Inc. (Frontier), operator of the business matching service "Ready Crew," will present at a seminar for overseas system vendors hosted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) on Tuesday, April 7, 2026. In recent years, with the promotion of DX, the number of Japanese companies considering the utilization of overseas resources is increasing, but mismatches due to differences in culture and business customs have also become an issue. At this seminar, based on the vast data accumulated by "Ready Crew," which handles over 110 billion yen in projects annually, we will directly teach overseas companies the "true evaluation points" that Japanese companies use when selecting development partners, aiming to help accelerate business matching between Japan and the world.

Event Background

1. Resonance of Ideals: Connecting "Trust" and "Aspirations"

JICA's vision of "Connecting the world with trust" is not limited to mere technical assistance, but is fundamentally about fostering bonds between people and nations.

On the other hand, our "Ready Crew" has pursued business matching that "connects and shapes the aspirations" of each company through dialogue, rather than just simple keyword searches. The deep resonance between JICA's stance of connecting the world based on "trust" and our company's emphasis on valuing inter-company "aspirations" has led to this presentation.

2. Serious IT Talent Shortage and the Necessity of "Trust" Across Borders

Currently, Japan is facing a severe shortage of IT talent due to the promotion of DX, making collaboration with excellent overseas tech companies indispensable. However, the barriers of "language, culture, and business customs" are thicker than the physical distance, and many cases are abandoned before establishing true trust, despite both parties having high potential.

3. As a Bridge to the Japanese Market: Sharing Matching Expertise with the World

At this seminar, we will articulate the "expectations and barometer of trust that Japanese companies place on partners," derived from our accumulated matching experience of over 140,000 cases, and share it with IT companies in countries such as Armenia, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan. By enabling overseas vendors to understand the unique business customs of Japan and the meticulous "aspirations" of clients, we will support the construction of sustainable partnerships, not just one-off contracts.
