EU-Japan Centre, Cross-Cultural Growth Marketing Webinars

Two expert-led webinar sessions for European SMEs entering Japan, tailored separately for Swedish and for Polish/Romanian audiences with different cultural starting points.

2 webinars delivered, ongoing partnership commissioned

Challenge

The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation needed an expert-led webinar series to help European SMEs understand how to enter and grow in the Japanese market. The audience ranged from Swedish to Polish and Romanian companies, each with different starting points and cultural contexts.

Approach

  • Delivered two tailored webinar sessions for distinct European audiences: one for Swedish SMEs and one for Polish and Romanian SMEs
  • Covered market entry strategies, customer acquisition and retention, and cross-cultural marketing for the Japanese market
  • Used real-world case studies of European companies that successfully entered Japan
  • Addressed culturally adapted communication, trust-building, and Japanese business etiquette
  • Interactive format with Q&A to address audience-specific challenges and industry contexts

Results

Two webinar sessions delivered to European SMEs across multiple countries
Practical market entry frameworks shared with B2B and B2C businesses
Positive reception leading to ongoing expert partnership with the EU-Japan Centre

"What we learned: European SMEs are eager to enter Japan but often underestimate the cultural complexity. A structured webinar format that combines strategic frameworks with real examples gives them the confidence and clarity to take the first step."
