Welcome Knowd Advisory to the Chamber
The IJCC is delighted to welcome Knowd Advisory as our newest Corporate Member.
In joining the Ireland Japan Chamber of Commerce, Knowd Advisory would like to share the following:
Founded in Tokyo in 2023. Shaped by Irish roots and more than 30 years in Japan and Asia. Built to help companies tell their capital markets story more clearly. Knowd Advisory has joined the IJCC as a corporate member.
Joining the Chamber felt like a natural next step in the company’s growth and a valuable way to build closer connections with companies and individuals involved in Ireland-Japan business. Through the IJCC, I look forward to meeting a wider range of members, exchanging views, and contributing to practical business dialogue between Ireland and Japan, particularly in areas linked to finance, capital markets and corporate strategy. Over time, I would also like to support broader engagement beyond Tokyo, including stronger links between Ireland and the San-in region, where I have growing business and personal connections.
