Digital Business Cards in Tokyo
Honor tradition while embracing innovation
Tokyo is the world's largest metropolitan economy and a global center for technology, finance, and innovation. Japanese business culture places extraordinary importance on the exchange of business cards (meishi koukan), making it one of the most card-intensive business environments on earth. NexaLink digital cards offer a way to honor this tradition while embracing Japan's love of cutting-edge technology.
Networking in Tokyo
Tokyo's business card culture is among the most ritualistic in the world. The meishi exchange is a formal practice where cards are presented with both hands, studied carefully, and treated with respect throughout a meeting. Despite this tradition, Tokyo is rapidly adopting digital tools, with the government's push for digital transformation accelerating the transition. Tech events at Shibuya's startup district, CEATEC at Makuhari Messe, and corporate networking at Marunouchi create diverse professional opportunities. The combination of deep respect for protocol and enthusiasm for technology makes Tokyo an ideal market for premium digital business cards.
