Building Partnerships in Japan

In June, SaySomethingin had the privilege of joining the Trade & Invest Wales Llywodraeth Cymru Economi | Welsh Government Economy Trade Mission to Japan, a journey that took us from the future-facing innovation of Expo 2025 in Osaka to the global business hub of Tokyo.

Our mission was clear: to promote the recently launched SSi spoken English course designed specifically for Japanese speakers, aligning Japan’s educational goals with Welsh technical creativity and unique language learning methodology.

In Tokyo, SSi met with a range of potential major partners in the education and EdTech sectors, exploring how our conversational English module could support professionals, students, and young learners who want to speak English confidently in real-life scenarios.

Throughout the mission, we built strong new contacts with Japanese organisations and networks that share our commitment to learner-centred, spoken English education.

These relationships, we hope, will grow into long-term partnerships, helping us establish a meaningful presence not just in Japan, but across Asia, where English remains a bridge to new opportunities.

The other Welsh companies attending the Trade Mission were wonderful ambassadors for Wales and their various sectors, we also look forward to staying in close contact with all of them.

SSi are excited for what lies ahead, and grateful to the Welsh Government for providing the platform to take Welsh innovation to the world stage.
