We support technology ventures and SMEs in agriculture, fisheries, and aquaculture,
as well as Japan-origin solutions for SDGs and sustainability,
to access highly local overseas markets – especially in North America and the U.S. – in a practical, manageable way.
Who we work with
- Smart technologies for agriculture and fisheries (sensing, data analytics, IoT, etc.)
- Processing and quality-preservation technologies for marine products
- Food and healthcare ingredients derived from primary industries
- Technologies and services related to sustainable production, resource circulation, and reduction of environmental footprint
What we provide
Use-case and
market theme definition
Based on the characteristics of your technology, we clarify where and for whom it can be used, and build hypotheses for how it could be applied in overseas – especially U.S. – settings.
Local needs and
reality assessment
By speaking with producers, processors, relevant organizations, and, where appropriate, local universities and research institutions, we confirm needs, expectations, implementation hurdles, and room for joint exploration and collaboration.
Designing stepwise pilots
and roll-out
On the premise of not immediately placing expatriates, we help create small-scale trial opportunities, build relationships with potential local partners, and design stepwise expansion plans including joint projects and sales/distribution schemes.
