# Business Services, Associations, Communities and Media for Japan — Overview

This group covers general business services and marketplaces (freelance platforms, service marketplaces, senior-mentor networking, marketing agencies), examples of expat-run product businesses, non-profit and business associations useful for networking and collective advocacy (chambers of commerce, foreign business councils, industry associations, the press club), and community/media resources for the IT and startup scene (meetup communities, conferences, event platforms, business news, the Telegram community network, and language schools).
