eChain Technology opens first international branch office in Osaka Japan.
Category:UncategorizedeChain Technology opens its first international branch office in Osaka Japan effective 14 September, 2014. “We see Osaka as an emerging tech center in Asia,” states Lewis Kilby, President of eChain Technology. “There are many companies in Japan that are aggressively pursuing ways to use RFID technology, who have been very responsive to our solutions and capabilities. We are also working closely with several Japanese companies who are manufacturing next-generation RFID technology. Opening a branch office in Osaka gives us direct access to, and removes barriers for us to do business with the traditionally honor-bound Japanese society. This is a perfect match for the way we have always done business since our founding in 2001.”
Historically, Osaka was the center of commerce in Japan, and several major companies like Panasonic, Sharp and Sanyo are still headquartered in Osaka. Recently, however, Osaka has been heavily investing in technology innovation to create a hub for competitive technology advantage. Witness the Osaka Innovation Hub (http://www.innovation-osaka.jp/en/aboutus). “A huge factor in our decision to select Osaka over Tokyo for our first Japan office was to be close to, and be a part of the exciting energy of the Osaka Innovation Hub,” says Mr. Kilby.
