The full service team for Japanese companies. We know what Japanese companies need.
Japanese companies and investors value Germany very highly. The reasons for this include the high levels of productivity, the excellent infrastructure and the easy access to the market. For these reasons, Japanese companies are expanding in Germany, and the country is considered a top location.
