Japan Business Network (JBN) - Singapore・Myanmar

We guide Japanese companies to success.

Singapore is known for integrity, quality, reliability, productivity, rule of law, and enforcement of intellectual property rights, which are essential in the knowledge economy. PwC Singapore is one of the leading international firms with over 3,500 professionals, who provide assurance, tax and advisory services to many multinational corporations (MNCs) with international or regional business hubs in Singapore. We also provide business support to clients in Myanmar.

PwC Singapore’s Japan Desk, which includes Japanese staff, is dedicated to serving Japanese companies. By understanding your needs in a common language, based on common cultural sensibilities, we can help you find business solutions, identify and maximise opportunities, improve efficiency and ultimately achieve your goals.
