SotaTek Japan Opens Fukuoka Office as a Strategic Hub for Regional Growth

SotaTek Japan is pleased to announce the opening of a new office in Fukuoka, effective January 5, 2026.

This initiative represents not merely an expansion of our physical footprint, but a strategic step toward growing together with regions across Japan.
While SotaTek Japan has traditionally focused its business activities in Tokyo, we are now shifting away from a “Tokyo-centric” model to become an IT partner that grows alongside local communities and creates new value from regional hubs, strengthening our nationwide presence.

Background and Purpose of the Fukuoka Office Establishment

1. Building a Next-Generation Ecosystem Centered in Fukuoka

Fukuoka is one of Japan’s leading innovation cities, known for its proactive local government support for startups, vibrant entrepreneurial communities, and strong concentration of companies interested in Web3, AI, and DX.

Through the Fukuoka office, SotaTek Japan aims to:

• Collaborate with startups in the Web3, AI, and DX domains
• Support discussions and PoC initiatives to refine technology and business ideas
• Serve as a bridge connecting Japanese companies with overseas (offshore) development resources

By doing so, we seek to create new success stories originating from Kyushu.

2. Supporting DX Initiatives of Local Companies in Kyushu

Kyushu is home to many companies with strong industrial foundations in sectors such as manufacturing, finance, logistics, tourism, healthcare, and energy. However, many organizations face challenges such as:

• Wanting to promote DX but not knowing where to start
• Having interest in AI and data utilization but lacking the right technology partner
  

Through our Fukuoka office, SotaTek Japan will provide hands-on, execution-driven DX support, including:

• Improving operational efficiency and automation
• Enhancing competitiveness through AI utilization
• Formulating and executing mid- to long-term IT and digital strategies

We will work closely with local businesses to deliver practical and sustainable results.

3. Fukuoka as a Nearshore Development Hub

SotaTek has built its strength around offshore development, primarily in Vietnam.
In addition to this, the Fukuoka office will serve as a foundation for developing a nearshore development center, offering:

• Cost-efficient development structures within Japan
• Engineers with deep understanding of Japanese language and business culture
• Hybrid development models combining nearshore and offshore teams

This approach enables an optimal balance of quality, speed, and cost, delivering the most suitable development structure for our clients.

Future Outlook

The Fukuoka office is not simply a regional branch for SotaTek Japan—it is a starting point for new challenges and value creation “From Kyushu to all of Japan, and from Japan to the world”

SotaTek Japan will continue to move forward together with local communities and accelerate DX across Japan through the power of technology.

We look forward to sharing more updates on the future developments of our Fukuoka office.
