The Electronic Sector in Japan has undergone considerable transformation. What are the new business opportunities for SMEs from the EU?  

The Japanese Electronics Sector used to be a closed market for foreign suppliers. This has changed dramatically, creating many new opportunities for foreign suppliers. There are exciting opportunities for EU companies in the industrial electronic sector, especially since the Japanese government decided to strengthen specific segments.   

The webinar is targeted to executives, marketers, and researchers in EU companies who are considering working with Japan, either as a partner to a Japanese company or by making direct investments.

In 40 minutes from your desk, discover:

  • The Legacy of the Japanese Electronic Industry
  • Ambitions of the Government
  • Challenges and Trends
  • Market Analyses primarily focus on new areas such as AI, AR, VR, Semiconductors, Telecom, Robotics, IoT and Renewable energy Technologies.
  • Opportunities for SMEs from the EU
  • Tax matters and how to establish business in Japan.

Programme:

  • Introduction
  • Expert’s presentation
  • Q&A Session
