EU Gateway Programme report

Friday, December 4th, 2009

As mentioned in our previous blog post the [ EU Gateway Programme - ICT Trade Fair was held on December 2-3. Place to be was the splendid Hilton Hotel in Shinjuku.

We’re happy to announce that the trade fair went very well and we would like to thank everyone who visited us. We really hope you had a chance to meet with interesting companies and who knows sometime in the not too distant future we’ll see several of these companies enter the Japanese market with their products and services.

Of course, we offered our pokens with an original EU-Gateway cap, not only to the visitors but also to all participating companies and staff members. Just a great way for everyone to meet in real life, connect and stay in touch online through the power of Poken.
