On Tuesday 8 May 2018, the EU-Japan Centre organised an "ICT Partnering Event" in Tokyo, Japan.

The ICT Business Matching (https://ict-tokyo2018.b2match.io/ ) took place a day before the "Japan IT week Spring" fair, thus the European companies travelling to Japan were able to participate in both events to maximise business opportunities.
