Retrospective thinking and planning forward

Dr. Philippe de Taxis du Poët
Dr. Philippe de Taxis du Poët

The year 2022 marks the 35th anniversary of the creation of the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation in 1987 as a joint venture co-managed and co-funded by the European Commission (DG GROW) and Japan (METI). These 35 years together enabled us to gain a rich experience to deliver multiple positive outcomes in the EU-Japan strategic partnership, and operationalise our policy agreements, be it the EPA, SPA, Connectivity Partnership, Green Alliance, mobilising key stakeholders from both sides, businesses, researchers, clusters and regions, students, and think tanks to promote concrete cooperation between the EU and Japan.  The EU-Japan Centre is a political signal that both the EU and Japan stand together for sustainable cooperation, and team up to preserve the benefits of openness, pursue resilient economies and inclusive societies. But perhaps above all, an intangible but pivotal dimension to build EU-Japan industrial partnerships, mutual trust, as illustrated by the handover of the EU-Japan BRT recommendations to PM Kishida has also developed over these years.

For building business partnerships, the EU-Japan Centre has enjoyed over the last 10 years being the Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) Member in Japan, the world's largest business support network. During this decade, thousands of business matchmaking events have been organised leading to expressions of interest and many business agreements. Statistics and success stories recently published show the diversity of industrial and technological sectors covered as well as the SMEs involved in many EU Member States. But probably the highest added value brought by the EU-Japan Centre to the EEN activities is that they are not standing alone. They actually provide and receive added value by being strongly connected to the other activities of the EU-Japan Centre such as our helpdesks on the EPA, public procurement, technology transfer, industrial cluster and the coordination with the Trade Promotion Organisation (TPOs) of the EU Member States, and the strong support from METI and JETRO in Japan. All together, they provide a coherent and synergetic ‘package’ integrating various tools, support and services.  

  • Building on this retrospective thinking, we are planning our activities for 1 April 2022 onwards by taking into account the acceleration over the last years of the profound transformation of business and the economy, and notably three main business trends impacting EU-Japan industrial cooperation:
  • EU-Japan business cooperation in and with Africa, ASEAN and Latin America. In addition to its domestic market, Japan is also increasingly considered by European businesses as a hub to access foreign markets by partnering with Japanese businesses; and vice versa.
  • Joint actions with the EU Member States Trade Promotions Organisations in a ‘Team Europe’ approach. Together we are stronger.

Digitalisation of business supports to help SMEs, providing opportunities to more SMEs for internationalising in less-costly, faster, greener, more global, and flexible ways. Hence the need to articulate the complementarity of the virtual with the physical dimension of business matchmaking.
