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

Note on third-party fees: All benefits cover Hub team time, coordination, vetting, and access to our network. They do not include third-party specialist fees (lawyers, accountants, certified translators, freight forwarders). Members benefit from pre-negotiated rates with our trusted specialist partners.
CzechTrade, CzechInvest, and JETRO deliver essential public services. We don’t replace them – we build on top. Where public agencies stop, the Hub begins.
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.
