Services for Public Sector Organisations

Home » Services » Services for Public Sector Organisations

We work closely with public sector organisations such as UKTI, the British Embassy in Japan, JETRO and Regional Development Agencies to support the process of developing trade with Japan, and have been commissioned to put on events such as ‘Japan day’ in the UK, to organise an outbound Mission to Japan, and to speak at several events in the UK and Japan.

We also work on Inward Investment activity, and have been commissioned by a UK Regional Development Agency to work on projects to attract Japanese investors into the region.

We are familiar with the public sector tendering and procurement process and have all the necessary documentation and procedures in place.
