Targeting European companies, this 2-week programme offers managers the unique opportunity to experience and understand both the cultural and economic elements which define and explain Japan's business and technological achievements.

Testimonial

By Ana Duran, Sales and Account Manager, Zeclinics, Spain (Participant in 2022 session)

“Despite being online, the experience I gained during this GRFJ 2022 training and all the information I have received have been of great value for me personally, and for the company where I work. The overall atmosphere and organisation of the training have given me an idea of what working with the Japanese might be like. The most important lesson learned during the training was the historical context needed to understand key cultural aspects that are embedded in Japanese business culture. Definitely, the hands-on negotiation experience during a workshop shared with Japanese volunteers was really helpful. It allowed me to learn with a practical exercise what were the important aspects to take into account during negotiations with the Japanese. I believe this training will help our company in accessing the Japanese market and in networking with local companies.”
