Are you running a business specializing development of defence technologies and solutions, such as cyber-security, drones, laser or satellite communications, radar technologies? Would you like to present your solutions to potential partners and clients from Japan? If so, the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation  has an exciting opportunity for you to explore the Japanese market, connect and exhibit at our Defence Business Mission in Japan in April 2027.

ABOUT THE MISSION

The Centre’s Defence Business Mission in Japan will exhibit at the DSEI Japan 2027 exhibition, the only large-scale integrated defence in Japan from April 27-3,  2027 in Tokyo. DSEI Japan provides unprecedented levels of access into the Japanese and wider Asia-Pacific market. During the first edition in 2023, over 500 VIPs and delegations from across the world attended DSEI Japan and exhibitors met with some of the Asia-Pacific’s key decision makers.

The Centre is planning to offer up to 16 EU defence-related companies the opportunity to exhibit in-person at DSEI Japan 2027. Selected participants will have the opportunity to connect with Japanese business partners and showcase their solutions during the 3-day exhibition. The program is preceded by a one-day program that includes a pitching/networking event to Japanese government- and industry representatives, as well as an opportunity to meet with defence-attaches from EU member states. At the Centre’s joint booth, mission participants will have their promotion material translated in Japanese-language posters, ensuring their products and technologies are effectively communicated to the Japanese visitors. Moreover, the mission will include professional interpreters to ensure that participants feel confident and well-supported throughout the event.

Before travelling to Japan, mission participants will receive detailed information about the schedule and Japanese business etiquette through a webinar, to ensure better preparation ahead of the business mission.
