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 network of more than 5,000 companies, institutions and professionals across Czechia and Japan, built during EXPO 2025 and growing with every Hub event: ambassadors, government officials, chamber presidents, and Japanese business leaders. Members get personal introductions, exclusive roundtables and delegations, not a contact list.
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.
Three corporate tiers for companies serious about Czech-Japan business – from emerging players to global leaders shaping the bilateral agenda.
The highest form of membership for market leaders who want to actively shape the future of Czech-Japan business. Includes all Patron benefits plus quarterly calls with the Hub President, Ambassador’s Dinner access, event co-branding, and direct access to top-level Japanese contacts.
For established companies looking to significantly strengthen their international business and actively contribute to Czech-Japan relations. Includes all Corporate benefits plus eligibility for Hub governance, full Working Group access, and 5 hours of strategic consultation per year.
The standard tier for mid-size and large companies serious about Japan or Czechia. Includes one Working Group, 2 hours of consultation, priority on business missions, Japan Market Watch, and a profile on the CJH website. 50% off for companies with fewer than 20 employees worldwide.
50% off the Corporate Member fee for companies under five years old or with fewer than 20 employees worldwide. Either one qualifies you, and you tick it in the application itself. Get in touch if you are unsure.

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.
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.
Every company or institution that becomes a member by 31 December 2026 receives membership valid for 18 months for the price of a single annual fee.
A designation no later member can earn – a permanent place on the Founders’ Wall of Fame.
First 18 months for the price of a single annual fee.

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.
A Founding Member is a member who joined the Hub by 30 June 2026. They receive four benefits unavailable to any later member: permanent Founding Member status, access to the inaugural event in Tokyo, a guaranteed nomination on the first business mission, and a logo on the Founders’ Wall. The pricing benefit is specific: you pay one annual fee and your membership is valid until 31 December 2027 — over 18 months. After 31 December 2027, membership renews on the standard annual cycle at the rates in force at that time. Membership contribution rates for 2028 have not been set at this stage — they will be determined by the Executive Board.
