Shine In The Land Of The Rising Sun

Having bounced back significantly since the earthquake and tsunami in 2011, there has never been a better time to enter the Japanese market with businesses in Japan increasingly looking to trade with overseas suppliers.

Japan’s 127 million consumers are big spenders, highly educated and demand the highest standards. In this increasingly globalised market, the use of English in Japan is becoming widespread, a growing number of young, internet-savvy entrepreneurs are challenging traditional practices and trade links with China are huge and growing. Importantly, IP is well protected, with fewer surprises for foreign businesses.

Discover how your business can take advantage of the potential this market offers by joining us for this evening seminar on Wednesday 10 July at The Hallmark Hotel, Derby . Funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), this event will provide you with:

• Expert advice, latest market developments and key considerations for doing business in Japan

• An understanding of Japanese business culture and etiquette to assist you to communicate more effectively with your counterparts

• Practical insights into successfully entering the market from Leicestershire-based advanced engineering firm, Zeeko Ltd. With Japan’s advanced manufacturing sector in areas such as camera and mobile technology, Richard Freeman, Managing Director of Zeeko, could see a potential demand for their expertise and product. Hear about the challenges they faced and the rewards they enjoy today

• An overview on UKTI’s Market Visit to Japan and South Korea, taking place in November 2013

Don’t overlook the opportunities that Japan has to offer and book a place today!
