The International Business Connection Organization (Location: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Keisuke Matsuura), which supports Japanese companies' overseas expansion through three pillars: 'knowledge, networks, and opportunities,' is renewing its 'International Seminar & Networking Event' to a 'practitioner-sharing type' where companies and local practitioners who have actually achieved results in overseas markets will speak.
By sharing real-world examples, including successes and failures, rather than theoretical information, the organization aims to provide reproducible decision-making materials to companies facing challenges in overseas expansion.
■ Background of the Renewal
In recent years, while Japanese companies' willingness to expand overseas has increased, many cases do not lead to actual business development due to challenges such as 'lack of local information,' 'absence of reliable networks,' and 'barriers in the execution phase.'
Against this backdrop, the organization has taken a step beyond information-providing seminars, evolving into a 'venue for sharing the knowledge of those who have actually done it.'
■ 1st Special Guest: Mr. Shinya Kawataki of Small Giants Studio Inc.
For the記念すべき (commemorative) first renewal, Mr. Kawataki Shinya of Small Giants Studio Inc. will speak.

As someone who has personally experienced the local market firsthand, engaged in business negotiations, and conducted test marketing, he will share the 'ideals and realities' of overseas expansion and 'insights obtainable only from real experience' without reservation.
