Japan
The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation is organising two conferences for EU executives in search of a better understanding of the Japanese market, its business culture and environment, and its technological developments.
The first event, "Distribution and business practices in Japan" will be held from 8 to 18 November 1999 in Japan. The programme will provide participants with an insight into how different products from different sectors arrive on the market in Japan. The programme will also provide participants with an opportunity to learn about the current dynamics of Japanese industry and any underlying problems in the distribution system, based on visits and discussions with Japanese counterparts and experts. The programme will consist of seminars and case studies, field trips and visits to manufacturing sites, wholesalers and retailers. The event is aimed at participants who intend to sell consumer goods in Japan.
The second event "Meet Asia in Japan and Singapore" will take place in Japan and Singapore from 29 November to 9 December 1999. This programme is intended to provide an opportunity for European companies to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of the Asian business environment. There will be two intensive weeks of lectures, teamwork and visits to Japanese and multinational companies in Japan and Singapore. The programme will also include negotiation exercises for a better understanding of Japanese and other Asian business cultures.
These programmes are mainly directed at managers from industrial companies, with a minimum of five to ten years' experience in industry. They must also be nationals of an EU Member State and able to participate in the entire programme,
The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation is a joint venture between the European Commission DG III and the Japanese Ministry of International Trade and Industry.
The EU-Japan Centre will cover all costs directly related to the programmes (including conference seminars and transportation costs during group field trips). However, applicants must be sponsored by their company, which is expected to cover the participant's travel costs to and from Japan, as well as their living expenses in Japan.
