CEO’s forewords

The world is undergoing tremendous changes, with unknown future ahead. Japan has been trying hard under Abenomics to cope with and tide over these changes.

Japanese corporations are now eager to explore overseas markets and to make collaboration/cooperation with foreign companies trying to make inroad into the Japanese markets.

GaiaContact is ready to provide some experienced helping hands to bridge over the ties between Japan and the overseas markets. It has nurtured useful and solid human connections with many companies both in Japan and the Asian and Middle East regions.
