EBC Newsletter – October 20, 2021

While Japanese borders are still difficult to cross for foreign non-residents, let’s prepare the future of our European companies on the local market through a few events and readings.

– Japan’s Next Normal – What to Expect From A New Government? 21 October 2021, 16:00 – 17:00 (Austrian Business Council)

– Business Summit 2021 – “Visions for 2050 – A Path towards an imaginative and sustainable future” – 9 November 2021, 10:30 – 19:30 (French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan)

I also recommend you read the latest Newsletter of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, which includes reports on various markets in Japan (e.g. e-Health and Telemedicine in Japan; The Vegetarian and Vegan market(s) in Japan, etc.), a report by Paul van der Plas on “Post -pandemic industries – Opportunities for EU & Japanese businesses in adapting together to a post-Covid world” with the support from the Centre’s MINERVA Market & Policy Intelligence action, and many other interesting articles and events.

The EBC remains active on the entry restrictions issue, and you are most welcome to contact us if you are facing any problems.

Enjoy your readings!

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

Valerie Moschetti
EBC Chief Operating Officer

The 2020 White Paper is called “Strengthening partnerships – in crisis and opportunity alike” . The opportunity is of course referring to the EU-Japan EPA that entered into force on February 1, 2019. Unfortunately, at the same time the COVID -19 crisis struck the world.

We are, however, confident that with our recommendations, the European and Japanese economies and companies will continue to prosper.
