IJBC SME HelpDesk
India to Japan Business Collaboration
Connecting Indian SMEs with Japanese Partners – through trusted bilateral engagement
The IJBC SME Help Desk is a curated platform for Indian SMEs exploring business, technology, or market collaboration with Japanese SMEs. We help you connect across borders with focus, discretion, and expert guidance — backed by a dedicated Indo-Japan expert panel.
How It Works (Step-by-Step Process)
We believe in qualified matchmaking – well-researched and curated by our experts.
Step 1
Submit Your Inquiry
Complete a simple form to tell us about your business, your objectives, and what kind of partnership you’re looking for in Japan.
Step 2
Review by IJBC Experts
Our team and domain experts evaluate if the request is a good fit for the Indo-Japan SME partnership and if IJBC can add meaningful value.
Step 3
Invitation to Stage 2
If shortlisted, we’ll invite you to submit a detailed form and pay a one-time fee of ₹30,000 + GST. This supports facilitation efforts in Japan.
Step 4
IJBC Reaches Japan
We conduct targeted research and outreach through our ecosystem in Japan, including SMEs, chambers, and facilitators.
Step 5
Match & Meeting Coordination
If a Japanese SME expresses interest, we schedule an online meeting between you and the potential partner/facilitator.
From there, you take the relationship forward. IJBC can assist further as needed.
