SeiRogai Selected as an Official Partner for SMRJ’s “Chikapa Project”

— Recognized for its expertise in overseas expansion, cross-border e-commerce, and digital marketing support — 

SeiRogai Inc. (Head Office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Directors: Samuel Yuen and Rachel Leng) has been selected as a featured partner in the “Chikapa Project,” an initiative operated by the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation, Japan (SMRJ).

This recognition reflects SeiRogai’s extensive expertise and proven track record in overseas market expansion, inbound market support, and digital marketing. Through its inclusion in the Chikapa Project, SeiRogai is now offering practical overseas promotion and marketing support opportunities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and small business operators aiming to expand globally.

SeiRogai’s Strengths in Overseas Expansion Support

SeiRogai’s key strength lies in its ability to provide end-to-end support—going beyond conventional consulting—by covering everything from strategic planning and marketing design to digital promotion and on-the-ground execution.

In particular, the following strengths have been highly evaluated:

1. Integrated Support Combining Strategy, Visual Content, and DX

SeiRogai offers one-stop support encompassing market research, strategy development, content production, and local market initiatives.

From the early stages of overseas expansion through to sales promotion, the company remains closely committed to its clients’ long-term growth.

2. Extensive Overseas Experience and Strong Local Execution Capabilities

With a strong track record across Asian markets—particularly ASEAN—SeiRogai delivers effective marketing strategies tailored to local cultures and languages.

In FY2025, SeiRogai was also selected as a JETRO Cross-Border EC Support Program Partner, earning continued certification as one of only 39 companies nationwide, further reinforcing its credibility.

3. High-Impact Promotion Using Digital Content and VR

Through VR 360° tours and digital promotions, SeiRogai delivers highly compelling experiences to overseas buyers and consumers.

The company excels at creating content that communicates the appeal of regional products and new services to global audiences.

Benefits for Companies Participating in the Chikapa Project

Under the SeiRogai–Chikapa collaboration, businesses considering their first step into overseas markets are provided with opportunities to assess the potential of their products and services and connect these insights to concrete next actions.

Professional advice on multilingual adaptation, overseas-oriented messaging, and clarification of key selling points.

● Overseas EC Marketing Consultation (Free / 30 minutes)

Support for target market analysis, promotion strategy development, and methods to maximize product appeal in overseas communications.

The Chikapa Project is part of SMRJ’s Overseas Expansion Test Marketing Support Program, designed to support SMEs and small businesses entering overseas markets by focusing on understanding overseas buyers and enhancing product competitiveness.

This support program consists of the following three initiatives:

  • Overseas Market Development Trial
  • Toranomon Online Advisory Program
  • Chikapa Project

Among these, the Chikapa Project collaborates with private companies and organizations registered under the Regional SME Overseas Expansion Promotion Partner Program to provide SMEs with concrete opportunities for product evaluation, marketing, and channel development.

SeiRogai was officially selected once again in FY2025 (Reiwa 7) as a Regional SME Overseas Expansion Promotion Partner, marking its second consecutive year of certification (one of 136 companies nationwide). This recognition attests to SeiRogai’s high level of expertise and proven results in overseas expansion support, sales channel development, and cross-border EC assistance.

Looking Ahead

Through its participation in the Chikapa Project, SeiRogai will continue to address common challenges faced by SMEs—such as lack of information and limited practical opportunities—by creating an environment that enables more realistic and sustainable overseas expansion.

Going forward, SeiRogai aims to further strengthen collaboration with SMRJ, related public institutions, and partner companies, while continuously promoting initiatives that support regional businesses in taking on global markets. Through these efforts, SeiRogai remains committed to delivering action-oriented support that helps regional enterprises unlock new growth opportunities overseas.
