Dear Friends of the EBC,<\/p>\n

Over the past week, the European Business Council in Japan has continued to engage with partners and stakeholders to support dialogue on key societal and policy issues shaping the future of our economies. From discussions on inclusive leadership to upcoming opportunities for policy exchange, the EBC remains committed to fostering constructive conversations that strengthen the EU-Japan partnership and support a competitive, forward-looking business environment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

International Women\u2019s Day 2026 – Women Shaping Politics<\/strong><\/p>\n

On 4 March, the EBC attended the International Women\u2019s Day Seminar held at the Delegation of the European Union to Japan and co-organised with the UN Women Japan Liaison Office.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The seminar explored the theme: \u201cTowards a Future Where Women Shape Politics: Japan’s Current Situation and Insights from the Nordics.\u201d The event brought together policymakers, diplomats, and experts to examine practical pathways for strengthening women\u2019s representation in political leadership.<\/p>\n

Key highlights from the discussion included:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • An in-depth analysis of Japan\u2019s current \u201ctalent pipeline,\u201d from local councils to national leadership<\/li>\n
  • Valuable insights from Nordic countries, where structural reforms have significantly increased women\u2019s political participation<\/li>\n
  • The importance of systemic change, including party structures, institutional support, and work-life balance policies<\/li>\n
  • The connection between inclusive governance and stronger, more resilient societies<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    The discussions underscored that improving gender balance in political leadership requires long-term structural efforts, but also delivers tangible benefits for governance and economic resilience.<\/p>\n

    At the EBC, we believe that greater diversity in leadership contributes to more sustainable institutions and a stronger economic environment. Inclusive governance is not only a societal objective, it is also a driver of economic performance and innovation.<\/p>\n

    Our sincere thanks to the organisers and speakers for facilitating such a timely and substantive exchange.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

The\u00a0EBC is delighted to welcome our new intern, Ryoma, who will be contributing to our work until the end of July :<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Salut!!! My name is Ryoma and I’m a fourth-year undergraduate student at Sciences Po Paris and Keio University, majoring in Economics and International Trade. Born in Tokyo, I was raised in the Netherlands and Australia, where I developed a love for traveling and football (or soccer, depending on where you’re from), as well as a strong interest in different cultures and international politics. Growing up in such an international environment has shaped me into the adventurous person that I am today, and I hope to bring that mindset to the EBC as an intern, where I’ll be supporting in market research, outreach, and marketing activities for the EBC.<\/span>\u00a0I am very excited to join the team and contribute by using my linguistic skills and experience working across both Japan and Europe to help strengthen the relationship between Japan and Europe at a time when economic cooperation is more important than ever. I look forward to learning and contributing to the EBC’s work in the months ahead!!<\/span><\/div>\n
