Call for Expressions of Interest to Co-organise Market Access Workshops for the Benefit of EU SMEs

The EU-Japan Centre is calling for expressions of interest in co-organising Market Access workshops with local EU support organisations (members of Enterprise Europe Network or other EU non-profit entities, such as EU clusters) in 2022.

These sessions would address in a timely and structured matter everything EU companies would like to know when accessing the Japanese market (including export to Japan processes and procedures, marketing, distribution and sales, trade shows, business matching and other) as well as providing insights into virtual communication and business practices with Japanese counterparts.

As the initiative was quite successful in the last couple of years, we are now adding a number of new sectors of possible interest and expertise, including:

- Food
- Textile
- Pharmaceuticals/medical devices
- ICT/IoT/digitalisation
- Cleantech/circular economy
- Cosmetics
- Furniture/interior accessories
- Multiple aspects of the Japanese business culture

The workshop would take from 1-2 hours online and 3-4 hours at the premises of and in cooperation with local Enterprise Europe Network (EEN) partners or other EU entities. All costs regarding the experts’ presentation fees as well as a possible travel (accommodation, flights) would be covered by the Centre.  

Deadline for submissions: 22 March 2022
