MAINBIZ Association to engage with Japan’s Tokyo NBC, explore Japanese market entry for SMEs

[Financial News] The Korea Association of Management Innovation for SMEs (MAINBIZ Association) will strengthen cooperation with a Japanese economic organization and work to help domestic SMEs enter the Japanese market and identify business cooperation opportunities between Korean and Japanese companies.
 According to industry sources on the 10th, MAINBIZ Association will host a dinner networking event for businesspeople with Japan’s Tokyo New Business Council (Tokyo NBC) on the 16th at Conference House Dalgaebi in Jung District, Seoul.
 Around 50 people, including representatives of both organizations and member companies, are expected to attend. The Japanese delegation will include businesspeople and experts from a range of fields, including information technology (IT) and digital industries, manufacturing, construction, management consulting, finance and investment, and talent development.
 The two organizations have continued their exchanges since signing a memorandum of understanding (MOU) last December. At this event, the heads of the two countries’ associations will sign a joint declaration to reaffirm their commitment to ongoing cooperation, and four MAINBIZ Association member companies will introduce their key businesses and technological competitiveness.
 Tokyo NBC, an organization of businesspeople established in 1985, works to make policy recommendations, provide management information, and identify and nurture entrepreneurs. It has about 1,012 members.
 Through this exchange, MAINBIZ Association plans to broaden the foundation for domestic innovative SMEs to enter the Japanese market and expand cooperative projects with overseas economic organizations.
 MAINBIZ Association Chair Kim Myeong-jin said, “This will be an opportunity for businesspeople from both countries to introduce their respective businesses and technological strengths to each other and identify new business opportunities,” adding, “We will continue to pursue cooperative projects to expand our member companies’ global networks and support their overseas expansion.”
