The Tokyo SME Support Center used the signing of a memorandum of understanding with the Thai Kasikorn Bank, which is our first overseas business partner, as an opportunity to establish the Thai Branch Office in Bangkok for the purpose of even more fully enabling the overseas expansion of Tokyo-based SMEs into ASEAN countries. The Thai Branch Office advises on local business and assists in matching Tokyo SMEs with Thai firms or organizations. These services are generally provided free of charge, and we encourage Tokyo-based SMEs to contact us about them.
