En étroite collaboration avec des entreprises japonaises, nous identifierons et convertirons des prospects, assurerons l’accueil et l’intégration de clients stratégiques (manufacture, technologie, services) et développerons de solides partenariats avec les clients et en R-D afin d’assurer une pénétration réussie du marché.
