Chemical
Whether you’re entering Japan’s chemical sector or already operating here, success takes more than compliance. Our bilingual experts help you refine your value proposition, localise for Japanese buyers, and identify regulatory pathways and trusted partners so you can scale faster, with less friction, and without setting up a local entity.
Healthcare
Whether you’re launching in Japan or scaling existing operations, healthcare here demands precision and trust. Our experts help you navigate PMDA approvals, connect with hospitals and distributors, and localise your messaging to meet both regulatory and cultural expectations—enabling faster growth without the need for a local presence or internal regulatory team.
Manufacturing
Whether you’re entering Japan’s industrial space or managing supply chains here, experience matters. We connect you with experts who understand Japan’s certifications, buyer preferences, and quality standards—helping you streamline operations, build local credibility, and move from pilot to production without relying on trial-and-error or slow local setup.
Deeptech
Whether you’re in AI, robotics, or frontier materials, entering or expanding in Japan means speaking the right language. Our local experts help you validate demand, craft a compelling narrative, and connect with trusted research and funding partners—ensuring your innovation lands well with Japanese stakeholders and gains early traction across sectors.
Banking
Whether you’re entering Japan’s financial market or deepening your local footprint, credibility is everything. We connect you with experts who understand FSA licensing, fintech compliance, and institutional partnerships—so you can scale safely, gain trust from regulators and banks, and operate efficiently without needing a legal entity in Japan.
FAQs
Do we need to establish a legal entity in Japan?
Not at all. The entire program is designed to operate without the need for a local subsidiary. You get full on-the-ground execution while staying fully compliant.
What if we already operate in Japan through a distributor or partner?
That’s no problem — many of our clients are in the same position. Our service is designed to support both new entrants and companies already doing business in Japan. Whether you’re looking to strengthen local relationships, explore new channels, or gain deeper market insight, our experts can help you build on what you’ve already started.
What if our company is based in Japan?
That’s completely fine. While our platform is primarily used by overseas companies, we also work with Japan-based teams — especially those looking for external expertise, strategic support, or market validation from professionals with both local and global experience.
Can we work entirely in English?
Yes. All our experts are bilingual and experienced in working with international teams — no language barriers, just clear communication.
How quickly can we get started?
Most projects can begin within 5 business days of approval. Once you’re matched, we move fast.
How is the program structured?
You contract directly with Inspanzo. We handle everything else — including matching and managing the right Japanese expert for your needs.
