Research Institute of Economy, Trade and Industry & EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation Joint Webinar

Towards carbon neutrality ~Challenge of Japanese & EU industry and system~

The EU and Japan share an ambitious goal of 2050 carbon neutrality. In order to achieve this goal, industry needs innovation and business model transformation, and policy makers need policy and institutional leads to promote and support industry transformation. Through the following two sessions, this webinar will identify common issues of industry and policy makers in both the EU and Japan, and explore the possibility of cooperation between both region and country.
