Your bridge to Japan and back

Czech-Japan Hub operates inside both the Czech and the Japanese legal systems at once, a setup few can match. We do not just make introductions. We open doors, translate cultures, and deliver measurable business results, in both directions.

One Hub. Three ways it delivers value.

Connect

Direct access to decision-makers across Czech and Japanese business, government, and academia. Personal introductions, not a database.

Accelerate

Expert Working Groups, B2B matchmaking, business missions, and Japan Market Watch. We shorten your path to market by months, not weeks.

Succeed

Cultural and sport diplomacy, VIP events, and planned business centres in Osaka and Tokyo: a set of tools few bring together in one place.

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

Public trade and investment agencies provide essential public services available to everyone. We don’t replace them – we build on top: personal introductions, strategic market intelligence, and an exclusive community that delivers concrete, measurable outcomes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Universal questions about membership. Segment-specific questions live on their respective pages.

Membership is open to companies (from dynamic startups to large corporations), institutions (cities, regions, universities, research organisations), and individuals. Whether you are a Czech company planning to expand into Japan, a Japanese investor looking for opportunities in Europe, or an expert operating in the Czech-Japan space, the community is open to you. We don’t specialise in a single sector – the Hub’s strength lies in diversity and connections across industries.

No unnecessary bureaucracy. Fill out the online application, Hub leadership reviews whether new members share our values, and once approved you receive a welcome package and an invoice. Full access to benefits comes immediately after payment. If you’re not sure which category to choose, send us a message through the inquiry form below – we’ll respond within 48 hours.

Membership fees are invoiced annually, generally for the calendar year. If you join mid-year, the first invoice is reduced proportionally based on your entry month. Membership renews automatically each year. To discontinue, simply notify us in writing before the end of the current period.

Main presentations are typically held in English with live AI transcription into Japanese. Contributions in Czech or Japanese are always fully interpreted. Informal networking generally happens in English, but we arrange interpreters whenever needed for maximum comfort.

Most events are open to non-members at a standard admission fee. When capacity is limited, members always have priority. Selected events are available only for members.

Submit a no-obligation inquiry through the form below. Within 48 hours we’ll get back to you with a short introduction call. We’ll discuss your goals and recommend the right path. No pressure.
