About

I started doing some market research and competitive technology intelligence in 2008 and it has now become one of my main activities. I am writing monthly digests for my customers, providing them with the most up-to-date information available about Japan's new technologies and new trends.

My digests are currently focused on such fields as:
— Mobility (mobile phones, services and trends),
— Fixed-Mobile convergence,
— Emerging advertising media (new internet-capable TV sets and related services, intelligent digital signage systems, electronic paper),
— Social Networks & 2D/3D avatar-based Virtual Spaces,
— Location-Based Services & Car/Pedestrian Navigation,
— Augmented Reality,
— QR codes & RFID ubiquity,
— Viral marketing,
— Internet access offers (4G, WiMax, FTTH).

This list can be expanded at your request. I would just love to widen it with subjects like robotics, green technologies or eco-friendly energy sources!

Instead of sending one of your own employees to those shows and having to deal with complicated logistics, why not ask someone who is already there?
