ArcBlock is announcing key milestones achieved in 2024 as part of our strategic expansion into Japan—a major step in our broader international growth plan supported by both the U.S. and Japanese governments.
Official Recognition and Government Support#
In August 2024, ArcBlock was approved by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) for participation in its investment support program. This partnership gives us access to critical resources and guidance as we establish our operations in Japan.
Selected as Washington State Innovation Representative#
In September 2024, ArcBlock was chosen as one of ten Washington State technology innovators to join a special delegation of visiting Japanese officials. This competitive selection recognized ArcBlock’s leadership in blockchain and AI innovation.
Expanding Presence Through Strategic Presentations#
After productive discussions with the Japanese delegation in Seattle, ArcBlock was invited to speak at the Global Innovation Forum Osaka in December 2024. We became the first company from Washington State to present at this event—marking another strong step toward deepening our engagement with Japan.
Building Local Capabilities#
As part of our long-term commitment to Japan, ArcBlock has started hiring locally. We are seeking native Japanese speakers fluent in English or Chinese for marketing, business development, and engineering roles.
Looking Forward#
The groundwork established in 2024 sets the stage for sustained international expansion—driven by strategic partnerships and government-backed programs. These achievements open the door to significant growth opportunities in Japan’s technology sector while strengthening collaboration between the U.S. and Japan.
