Greetings from Brussels!<\/strong><\/p>\n
Dear Friends of the EBC,<\/p>\n
Hello from the heart of Europe! I am currently in Brussels, attending the European Business Organisations (EBO) Worldwide Network Annual Global Summit with nearly 50 EBOs from all corners of the globe<\/strong>. This summit provides us with a unique opportunity to delve into various European policie<\/strong>s that can significantly benefit European companies worldwide. We are also offering direct feedback and recommendations from our respective markets to the European Commission<\/strong>. In addition to the main meetings, we are engaging in internal global and regional meetings<\/strong>. My focus has been on collaborating with EBOs from East Asia and the Pacific to explore ways to better serve European companies in our region. \nWe’ve already heard insightful presentations from:<\/p>\n

Michael Hager<\/strong>, Head of Cabinet of Executive Vice President Dombrovskis<\/li>\n

On 3 June, Bjorn Kongstad, EBC Chief Policy Director participated in the Radio Wave Day at the Imperial Hotel, an event organised by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC) and the Information and Communication Promotion Council<\/strong>. This event showcased the myriad applications of radio wave technology, beyond traditional radio – think television, walkie-talkies, mobile phones, and Bluetooth. \nKeynote speeches were delivered by MIC Parliamentary Secretary Shoji Nishida<\/strong> and Nobuhiro Endo of the Council<\/strong>. Awards were presented to individuals and organisations that have significantly advanced radio wave technology in Japan.<\/p>\n

The Japanese government has designated four prefectures and three cities as special financial and asset management zones<\/strong>, introducing policies that include the creation of new visas for specific foreign investors. To promote the shift from ‘savings to investment,’ the government aims to encourage new domestic and international entrants and competition in the asset management industry.
