Your Partner
for Czech-Japan Business

From market entry to cultural diplomacy. Six tools, one team, two countries. The Hub is not a networking platform – it’s a project-driven bridge that delivers concrete outcomes.

What You Get

More than networking – a full-spectrum operational partner for your Czech-Japan business ambitions. Six tools that work together.

Trilingual Business Desk

A dedicated point of contact in Czech, English, and Japanese. From navigating local regulations to finding the right lawyer or accountant – your day-to-day operational lifeline in the other country.

Expert Working Groups

Sector platforms connecting companies with shared interests. Joint market analyses, shared negotiating power, and targeted matchmaking in construction, technology, food and beverage, and creative industries.

Japan Market Watch

Quarterly analytical review of market trends, sector opportunities, and regulatory changes. Published in Czech, English, and Japanese. Briefing seminars with concrete recommendations for your decision-making.

Cultural and Sport Diplomacy

In Japan, trust is built through shared experience, not a presentation. Every cultural and sports event includes VIP receptions, artist meetings, and business networking. We build kao (face) and shinrai (trust) on your behalf.

Top-Level Access

A unique network of contacts built during EXPO 2025 – ambassadors, government officials, chamber presidents, and Japanese business leaders. Exclusive roundtables and delegations you won’t find elsewhere.

Market Entry Support

The operations of doing business in Japan are notoriously complex. We help with company registration, accounting, tax filings, registered office addresses, and regulatory certifications – so you can focus on your business, not paperwork.

What public agencies do brilliantly – and what they don’t do at all

CzechTrade, CzechInvest, and JETRO deliver essential public services. We don’t replace them – we build on top. Where public agencies stop, the Hub begins.

What public agencies do
  • General market analyses and statistics
  • Standard information services for everyone
  • First-contact introductions
  • Trade fairs and government missions
+
What the Hub adds
  • Dedicated trilingual Business Desk with concrete operational support
  • Personal introductions to decision-makers, not just a contact list
  • Strategic consultation for market entry and expansion (governance, tax, regulation)
  • Sector Working Groups with concrete deliverables
  • Cultural and sports events as trust-building tools
  • Member rates on event production, logistics, translation

Frequently Asked Questions

Questions specific to the corporate buyer. Universal questions live on the landing page.

Typically 5 to 10 working days from receipt of the application. For President’s Circle and Patron Member categories we schedule a short introduction call with the Hub President within 14 days. Full access to benefits comes immediately after payment.

Annually, generally for the calendar year. For mid-year entries, the first invoice is reduced proportionally based on the entry month. Members in good standing receive their renewal invoice in November with 30-day payment terms.

Membership is institutional, not personal. Business Desk hours, discounts, and member rates can be used by anyone in your company. VIP tickets and voting rights are allocated to specific representatives the company nominates. You can change nominated representatives at any time.

The 50% discount applies to companies with fewer than 20 employees worldwide (FTE-adjusted). It’s applied automatically at registration after we verify headcount. The discount doesn’t combine with other promotional offers and applies only to the Corporate Member tier.

We work hand in hand. We are actively building cooperation with Czech state agencies and with JETRO. The Hub is a layer above their services, not a replacement – where their service is publicly available and general, we provide an exclusive and personalised service to members.

Yes – co-branding is a standard benefit for President’s Circle (2 events per year) and Patron Member (1 event per year). We co-design the format, programme, and communication. For Corporate Member, co-branding is available on a project-by-project basis under individual terms.
