Building bridges between Europe & Japan is what we do. We have more than 20-year experience in connecting companies through M&A and Technology Transfer. We support our clients with their business development activities, by acquiring a company on the other side of the bridge or by arranging a distribution or licensing contract with a target company that we, or you, identify. Discretely and often on an anonymous basis, we connect companies around the world. We're active especially in the areas/industries of: chemical, green technology, IT, logistics, renewables and new materials, but we have most of the time the right contacts for those our clients wish to explore.
