【Emergency Slot Expansion for Food Industry】"Business Matching Guaranteed Taiwan Business Tour" on June 15th: Additional Recruitment for Food-Related Products Begins Due to Popular Demand!

The International Business Connection Organization (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Keisuke Matsuura), a general incorporated association that supports Japanese companies' overseas expansion through three pillars: "knowledge, networks, and opportunities," has urgently expanded participation slots for food-related companies and commenced additional recruitment for the "Business Matching Guaranteed Taiwan Business Tour" to be held from Monday, June 15, 2026.

Background of the Slot Expansion Decision:

Strong Demand from Local Buyers and High Interest in Japanese "Food" This tour, announced in March, has received significant feedback from many companies as a "practical program" that allows direct business negotiations with major Taiwanese drugstores and influential companies. Amidst this, strong requests were received from local Taiwanese distribution buyers, asking for "more proposals for high-quality Japanese food, sweets, seasonings, and health foods." In response, we urgently re-adjusted the business negotiation schedule with local companies and decided to specially expand the participation slots for those in the food industry.

The Strength of the "Business Matching Guaranteed" Model, Not Just Observation Tours

This tour is not about cold calling or mere market observation on-site, as business negotiations are set up after prior hearings. While Taiwan is a highly pro-Japanese market with high trust in Japanese-made food, there is "real, primary information" that can only be obtained through direct dialogue with buyers, such as local taste trends, packaging regulations, and compliance. By bringing your proud food products and presenting them directly to influential Taiwanese companies, you can take the first step towards concrete overseas market development.
