Emerging Market Business Development

Efforts to solve social challenges in emerging markets through business innovation are gaining momentum—but achieving success remains a significant challenge. While businesses with a strong social mission can leverage support from the Japanese government, international organizations, development finance institutions, and global business partners, many companies still struggle to fully capitalize on these opportunities.
We empower clients to mobilize a broad ecosystem of stakeholders to address pressing social issues in emerging economies, while enhancing long-term corporate value. As a partner that walks alongside clients through the complexities of these markets, we go beyond conventional consulting to drive systemic transformation.
