APCO in Tokyo
APCO's Tokyo-based team prides itself on a proven record of advising multinational companies to realize strategic advantage and achieve their top- and bottom-line business goals by:
- Aligning with societal and government priorities
- Anticipating potential issues and mitigating negative risks
- Navigating regulatory scrutiny and using regulation to call out others
- Responding rapidly to crises to maintain and rebuild reputation
- Identifying and engaging key local stakeholders and third-parties
- Advocating for policies that create or expand their market
Our clients—a majority of whom draw from the health and tech industries–choose APCO for our unique combination of global mindset and local market knowledge and relationships. They trust that our insights and ideas will properly balance what's needed in Japan with the increasingly complex geopolitics of their business and with the uncertainties wrought by climate change, pandemic threats, rising prices, growing inequality, disinformation and various forms of ethnic and political tribalism.
Delivering on that promise is our diverse team of consultants, who have studied or worked in a dozen countries and who speak at least a half-dozen languages. Their international experience and perspectives enable us to deliver unmatched, world-class counsel and service that sets our clients apart and sets them up for continued success in Japan and beyond.
