From the EBC

Dear Friends of the EBC,

A few days ago, the Economic Security Promotion Act has been adopted. Future guidelines and implementation rules will follow. As the Act and its regulations will impact European industry in Japan, it is vital for companies to understand how they may affect them. The EBC is organizing a briefing on 22 June, between 4:00 and 5:30pm. Please save this date in your agenda if you are interested, we will communicate soon on the detailed program!

We would also like to invite you to a hybrid workshop of the EBC’s Automotive Components & Aftermarket Committee steered by McKinsey’s leading sustainability and automotive decarbonization experts on “Sustainability in Japan 2030: Learnings from Europe’s successes and challenges” . They will present a holistic overview of the key topics in sustainability globally today, what they could mean for Japan and the opportunities they create for the Japanese automotive sector. After the in-person event, participants and speakers will proceed to dinner & drinks at Ruby Jack’s. Please select “Yes” in the registration form if you’d like to attend the in-person event (limited to 20 participants).

In June, a few other events could be of interest to you:

We hope you stay positive and healthy during this difficult time.
