Meeting with the Mayor of Fukuoka, Mr. Soichiro Takashima

We are excited to share more news about our trip to Japan. It’s worth noting that the journey was organized with the support of the Japanese government. Upon our arrival, we were warmly welcomed and cared for not only by the organizers but also by the Mayor of Fukuoka, Mr. Soichiro Takashima. He attended every day of the event and proved to be a very friendly and open person.

Moreover, the Fukuoka government made an unprecedented proposal to provide all the necessary conditions for opening a branch of the "4Blind" company in Fukuoka, aimed at developing the company’s products for the Asian market.

We are deeply grateful to the mayor and the organizers of the trip for their warm and gracious hospitality!
