Our readers are highly-educated; whether they are the CEO, CTO, CIO, partner, founder, senior VP or president of their company. When you advertise in J@pan Inc, you reach one of the savviest audiences imaginable. They are international and influential business leaders. Open-minded. Perceptive. Wealthy. Do they number in the millions? No. And that's what makes them so valuable: they are the cream of the crop.

OUR COVERAGE

BUSINESS J@pan Inc is about business in Japan. New business. Technology business. So while we'll never cover the metal parts industry, we will cover a B2B online exchange allowing metal parts to be traded more efficiently than before. We will cover startups using new technologies to circumvent the old guard. We will reveal the best way to do business in Japan now. We will provide the research and statistics that prove the New Economy here is not hype. We will map the territory, showing where the hot startups are concentrating around Japan. In other words, we will show readers everything that matters about Japan now.

TECHNOLOGY Technology reporting is a subtle craft. Too often publications get obsessed with the inconsequential details. We're experienced enough to know better. We keep things in their proper perspective, and delve into the tech specs only when necessary to understanding the bigger picture. Our readers want the executive summary. (Naturally -- they're executives.) Of course, there's the more playful side of technology to consider as well. We show readers the latest of Japan's cool little gizmos and gadgets, which are often months or even years ahead of the rest of the world.

PEOPLE Entrepreneurs are our heroes. We love sharing their stories with our readers. We excel in this area: there's simply no other publication in the world that covers Japan's high-tech entrepreneurs like J@pan Inc. Our coverage expands beyond entrepreneurs, of course: Presidents. Politicians. Professors. Authors. Foreign CEOs looking to break into the market. Anyone who has a stake in Japan's New Economy.

... and MORE Our readers are smart enough to know when it's time to unplug from work. That's why we sprinkle each issue with fun, interesting stuff. The best Italian restaurant in Tokyo. The latest and greatest hotel. A cool little make-your-own-robot shop in Akihabara. A small-screen guide to Hiroshima.

Reader Acclaim:
"J@pan Inc is the single best English-language source I've found for keeping up with the various elements of Japan's IT community. I LIKE THE BALANCE OF GOOD REPORTING AND THE 'EDGY' TONE of the articles: serious business, but still gives an adrenaline kick."
Keith Kirkham, Commercial Attache for IT, American Embassy, Tokyo

"I just want to tell you how impressed I am with your site, your magazine, and your content. This type of CONSISTENT QUALITY is sorely lacking in anything I've read from anyone covering Japan. Keep up the good work!"
Marc B. Ira, President, JPComCenter

"Congrats on a great magazine that seems to be Japan's answer to Red Herring and Tornado-Insider."
Guy J.S. Douglas, Head of Business Development, Broeur Worldwide, London

"This website is a breath of fresh air. It's amazing how the majority of people in America know next to nothing about Japan, yet know so much about European countries. I will continue to enjoy your site, and thanks for the shared knowledge!"
Peter Huddleston

"I always believe a pat on the back goes a long way. I would like to congratulate your magazine. I have been a reader for some time now and enjoy not only the weekly email updates, but the hard cover copies as well, which adorn my new office in Tokyo, where MANY FOREIGN VISITORS HAVE PICKED UP MY ONLY MONTHLY COPY as a souvenir. No hard feelings of course, as I can get another, but it is interesting to note that foreign visitors are interested in the content and impressed at the quality of the production."
David Middleton, BLM International

"I just read the article entitled 'Always Remember the 80-20 rule.' I want to thank you for validating my efforts and my business model. It is incredibly motivating to hear a 30-year veteran (guru) of Japan/US business succinctly package together the magic ingredients for a US company to penetrate Japan and be successful. I hope you don't mind me quoting the article at my next business update to my executive board. When I hit a roadblock, I'll just revert back to it to ensure I'm on the right track."
Ira Krolnick, Senior Vice President of Business Development, MFS Investment Management, Boston
