According to Yutaka Asai, President of IP Solutions Company at Oki Electric, "The Japanese VoIP market currently leads the world, with the IP telephony subscribers numbering over three million. In November 2002, the government launched phone-number allocation for IP telephony, a world first. As a leader in the Japanese VoIP market, we offer potential business partners our wealth of cumulative experience and know-how."

Since its first introduction of VoIP products in 1997, Oki has maintained a leading share in the Japanese VoIP market. The company has since broadened its VoIP business activities from product-offerings to total solutions and promotion of IP telephony. In April 2002, it established the industry-leading IP Telephony Promotion Center. Oki has submitted proposals to major standardization organizations, including the ITU-T (International Telecommunication Union Telecommunication Standardization Sector), the IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force), and the TTC (Telecommunication Technology Committee), the last of which is a Japan's standardization committee, and other Japanese governmental committees.

The seminars are organized and presented by Oki's executives and high-ranking engineers. By presenting this seminar, the company seeks to offer various business examples, market trends, and business opportunities. It also hopes to establish potential business partnerships with Taiwanese companies.
