# Networking, Communities and Client Acquisition in Japan — Overview

Finding clients, partners and business contacts in Japan relies primarily on offline networking and personal introductions rather than mass cold outreach. This covers regular networking meetups for Russian-speaking professionals, Japanese and foreign chambers of commerce and mentor/investor contacts, major trade shows and startup events, venues and tools used for business meetings, B2B/B2C sales strategies specific to the Japanese market, and case studies of competition for customers in Japan (freee vs Yayoi, Mercari, eBay).
