GSGP South Korea & Japan Trade Mission/B2B Business Meeting [Report]

GSGP led a multi-sector trade mission to Seoul, South Korea and Tokyo, Japan from April 6-16, 2025. The goal of this mission was to assist small to medium-sized companies from the Great Lakes St. Lawrence region to export products and services to this important market.
We worked on meeting arrangements in Japan for 3 manufacturers of mineral packs for coffee water, earplugs, and automotive and marine accessories.
The scope of work we covered includes market research to identify approx. 50 potential business partners in total, contact and prescreening and meeting arrangements. Finally, we arranged 10 meetings in total for 3 US companies from Michigan and Ohio.
The following companies are those our office supported.
- Third Wave Water
- McKeon
- Owens
We are proud of the successful matchmaking case for the US companies and hope to have the next opportunity to work with this great client in the near future.
