Supporting Japanese companies' overseas business, from information gathering to negotiation and deal closing.
We are an organization that provides one-stop support for your overseas expansion.
What is O-PUS?
O-PUS is an organization established to facilitate matching with overseas companies, government agencies, and individuals, **supporting Japanese companies at the entrance to international business**. We attend negotiations as agents, deliver the latest international information, and if necessary, travel to local sites to discover and coordinate key personnel, offering a wide range of support.

On-site Support
We travel to local sites on your behalf, conducting direct investigations and acting as your representative in meetings.

Information Dissemination & Advertising

O-PUS's 3-Step Support
O-PUS services are structured in a clear flow of information gathering → preparation → negotiation/contract completion. In the entertainment industry, it's like finding an audition, taking it, and making a major debut. In real estate, it's similar to obtaining property information, viewing it, undergoing an inspection, and then signing a contract.

Gather international business information at monthly international forum exchange meetings.
O-PUS LINK
Prepare overseas advertising and sales tools in brochures, and set up a proposal system.
Negotiation & Contract Completion
Provide a real negotiation platform and offer continuous support until the contract is finalized.
O-PUS BRIDGE
─ International Business Exchange
O-PUS BRIDGE is a monthly international business exchange event. It is a valuable opportunity to directly obtain business information from around the world, and for Japanese companies considering overseas expansion, it is the first step. If you are interested in the information obtained here, you can seamlessly transition to the next step, O-PUS LINK, and proceed with concrete negotiation preparations. Collecting information, preparing numerous 'negotiation' auditions, and leading to successful contracts—that is the mission of O-PUS BRIDGE. *See attachment
