For Japanese producers, drinks makers, apparel brands, creators and businesses. From Taiwan market-entry consulting to audiences, presentation and delivery conditions for products and IP projects, we help turn an overseas ambition into a defined plan. First-time exporters are welcome.
We start with product character, current sales channels and brand priorities. Beyond choosing a country, we identify a specific audience and channel to explore first.

From a Taiwan market idea to a practical plan.
Alongside IP product collaborations, WAIN99 provides consulting for entry into Taiwan. We help brands and rights holders define audiences, product formats, local messaging and channels, then map out a phased route to market.
Taiwan market entry and IP development
Support can cover market and channel research, Traditional Chinese product and proposal materials, product-development and approval workflows, and preparation for meetings, exhibitions and venue introductions. We agree on the scope of decision materials and practical plans for each engagement.

Organizing cross-border work with AI
Our AI consulting concept begins with workflow mapping and an adoption assessment. Potential areas include multilingual product information, sales-report preparation and internal process documentation. We assess expected value, implementation difficulty and data handling to identify a suitable first workflow.
Initial stage: individual scoping for workflow mapping and assessment
Next stage: a pilot and evaluation of one defined workflow
System integration and ongoing operations: assessed separately after requirements and delivery capacity are confirmed
Taiwan consulting scope, responsibilities, fees and timing are agreed for each project. Phased AI support is in preparation; it is not a fully automated operations service.

Questions before we begin
Can we enquire at the idea stage?
Yes. Tell us what is decided and what you would like to explore.
Can you help prepare product materials for Taiwan?
Yes, subject to discussion. We review product information, audience and use cases, then define the scope for Traditional Chinese messaging and trade materials.
Can you introduce local sales channels?
We assess whether an introduction is appropriate after reviewing the product, market and supply conditions. Meetings, listings, repeat business and sales volumes are not guaranteed.
Does an enquiry mean overseas sales can begin?
No. Market fit, licences, labelling, logistics, pricing, capacity and rights must be reviewed. Execution is considered only when conditions are met and relevant parties agree.
Let’s discuss your next market.
