HIGHLAND CREEK

Being the third largest, extremely stable and transparent economy in the world, Japan provides many attractive business opportunities.

One of the most sophisticated consumers challenging corporates day in day out, high quality manufacturers delivering state of the art products, energy sector rapidly shifting to renewables, digital transformation accelerating across the industry, Fintech, BioTech, EdTech, RetailTech, and any other startups sprouting based on DeepTech... all those business ingredients interacting with each other to create new opportunities.

Japan is the fastest aging society.

That aspect of Japan challenges businesses continuity. There are more and more such cases rising that well-run, financially viable companies seek for outside supports as presidents and skilled workers retire. Weaker Japanese Yen also affects companies in Japan as foreign companies find Japanese companies no longer overpriced. Yes, M&A transactions are all time high now.

Since the burst of the bubble economy in 1991, Japanese corporate culture has long lost its dynamism to take risks to grow. Today, Japanese corporate conservatism is characterized by four pillars, “Precedents Bias”, “Peer Pressure”, “Status Quo Bias” and “Silo.” However, finally, awareness to break the rigid conservatism is on the rise. Transformation is inevitable for every company.
