Hosted by ITOCHU and A2 Healthcare, this Breakfast Briefing brings together leading US and Japanese CRO organizations to develop a deeper understanding of what each partner truly offers: their overall business model, operational capabilities, therapeutic and regional areas of specialization, and their ability to function as a genuine strategic extension of a CRO's team rather than a transactional vendor.

​

Participating CROs will present their delivery models and discuss how they support navigating the complexities of conducting trials in Japan, from regulatory strategy to site management and patient recruitment. As hosts, ITOCHU and A2 Healthcare will guide the discussion around what matters most to sponsors evaluating long-term partnerships in the Japanese market, going beyond single-study engagements to explore what differentiates each organization's approach to collaboration and execution.

​

During the session, attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with senior leadership from participating CROs through group discussion and one-on-one networking. These conversations will help identify and build relationships with the partners best positioned to support their Japan, and APAC strategy going forward.
