Defence is on the rise globally, with countries seeking to both reinforce and update existing capabilities, as well as develop new ones to address shifts in the field. Japan is no exception, and with a recent record-setting defence budget the country is set to become the third-largest defence spender on the globe.
The Finland-Japan Chamber of Commerce (FJCC) and the Finnish Chamber of Commerce in Japan (FCCJ) are happy to invite you to join this hybrid session on the Finnish Defence Industry and the potential it has in Japan.
If you're looking to know more about the market realities for defence companies in Japan, get insights on opportunities, or find out hear about interesting developments in the Finnish defence sector, this event is for you.
The session, open to both FJCC members and non-members, will be held both in-person in Helsinki as well as online via Zoom webinar. Those who sign up to attend online will be sent an invite to join the Zoom webinar 24 hours before the event.

With over 1.5 trillion yen in "dry powder", Japanese VCs and CVCs are increasingly looking towards foreign shores for promising investment opportunities, including Finland. But Japanese VCs and CVCs can often be quite different in their approaches compared to western ones with regards to their scope and involvement.
Understanding the differences in approach, mentality, and support offered can help you decide if Japanese investors are right for you, and how you should go about engaging with them if they are.
In this breakfast panel discussion hosted jointly by the Finland-Japan Chamber of Commerce and Northlink Partners you'll get to hear from real Japanese investors and experts in Japanese VC & CVC about how they operate, what they typically are looking for, and what are some cultural differences that startups should be mindful of when engaging with Japanese investors.
