AtGlobal, Ltd.

AtGlobal, Ltd. (株式会社アットグローバル) is a Japanese company headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo, that positions itself as an integrated partner for companies expanding overseas. Founded on 4 February 2002, the company has grown into a one-stop provider of translation and interpreting, overseas local research, multilingual marketing, overseas sales support and global talent training. Its official website states that it has served more than 1,000 clients since its founding, works in 50 languages, and operates through 60 overseas locations. It holds ISO 17100 certification for translation services and ISO 27001 certification for information security, and says its services have been adopted by Fortune Top 10 companies. The company organizes its offering around a proprietary methodology it calls "CQ Business®," which it describes as covering the full lifecycle of overseas business in five phases: knowing (overseas local research), preparing (marketing translation under the "CQ Translation®" brand), delivering (multilingual marketing including SEO, advertising and social media), connecting (interpreting, hosting and overseas sales/event support), and taking root (global talent training). Rather than treating translation, research and local sales as separate outsourced tasks, AtGlobal markets itself as a single external team that clients can engage at any phase, even for a single assignment. Its translation and interpreting business is recognized in public listings: the Japan Patent Office's list of patent information service providers (translation services) includes the company, and its ISO 17100 certification appears in the Japan Standards Association Solutions public list under registration JSAT057, covering Japanese-English and Japanese-Chinese language pairs with an initial certification date of 1 November 2021. It also holds a PrivacyMark from JIPDEC and registered its ISO/IEC 27001 information security management system in 2022. In 2023 it obtained a paid employment placement business license, and in 2024 it registered the trademarks "CQ Translation" and "CQ Business." In June 2025 it relocated its headquarters to the Shin-Aoyama Building East Tower in Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku. AtGlobal's client testimonials on its website emphasize flexibility, a partner-like attitude that goes beyond mere research or translation delivery, and the ability to support everything from local market research to on-the-ground sales support. The company also appears as a contractor in public procurement records of the Japan Patent Office and was named as a contractor for a Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare commissioned project in the specified skills / building cleaning field. In 2024 it was selected as a "White" honoree in the "Hataraku Hito First Award 2024."
