On April 28–29, 2026, at the BNI National Conference 2026 held at Tokyo Big Sight, Shingo, CEO of New Connections Inc. (which operates SNI), and Nakayama, CEO of Water X Technologies Inc., supported the exhibition booth of Glocal Solutions Japan as certified specialists of the organization.
More than 2,500 business leaders from Japan and overseas gathered at the event, giving us valuable opportunities to engage directly with numerous visitors, including representatives from international companies.
Highlights of the Day
- Bridging Japan and Taiwan: We exchanged ideas with the CEO of a leading live-commerce company in Taiwan. We discussed the potential of leveraging live commerce as a new sales channel for Japanese manufacturers and brands entering the Taiwanese market.
- New Partnership with a Hong Kong B2B Partner: We established a new collaboration with the CEO of a company with strong B2B distribution networks in Hong Kong. Going forward, we will jointly support the introduction of unique Japanese products to buyers in Hong Kong and the Greater China region.
At SNI, we will continue to support the global expansion of Japanese manufacturing and services through overseas market entry support, China sourcing & OEM support, and AI-driven cross-border marketing.
We sincerely thank everyone who visited our booth and supported us during the event.
A video featuring kiriko craftsmanship in Yamanashi will be released soon.
