New Members Cyberdyne

"I am a professor at Tsukuba University and am also the CEO of Cyberdyne.” Furthermore professor Sankai mentioned that he was also selected by the Japanese government as one of the country’s top scientists and is known worldwide by the science community. Fascinated by robots during his childhood and a strong will to help humanity, professor Sankai developed innovative products and ideas with the support of many researchers at his University. During his presentation, the professor showed us the Robot Suit HAL ® suit (cyborg-type robot that can expand and improve physical capability) and its various functions. He was pleasantly surprised when we informed him that his HAL ® suit was shown as one of Japan’s leading innovating technologies during the promotional video of 400 years trade relations between the Netherlands and Japan.

Luncheon meeting “Winning over the Japanese Consumer” on 23 April

[ April 23, 2010; 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm. ] Whether you have just recently entered the Japanese market or whether you are a long-established "gaishi-kei," it might be tempting to dismiss the endless array of bizarre products and advertisements that flood the Japanese marketplace as chaotic. The reality is however that this apparent chaos is a product of deep insight into the Japanese mindset and culture. Join us for this luncheon presentation during which speakers from Dentsu will suggest how to best utilize this knowledge in identifying which contact points to use to most effectively reach target consumers. Colourful anecdotes, thought-provoking case studies and valuable consumer insight backed by an elaborate data stream accumulated from Dentsu’s over 100 years of experience, will make for an eye-opening experience.
