As we close out the year, we would like to take a moment to thank you for being part of the EU-Japan Centre’s community. Every project, event, exchange, and new connection we helped support in the past months has been shaped by people like you - readers, partners, participants, and colleagues who care about EU-Japan cooperation and the future it can create.
This year brought its share of challenges and opportunities, but what stands out most to us is the steady goodwill and curiosity that continue to drive collaboration between Europe and Japan. Whether you joined one of our programmes, followed our analyses, or simply stayed connected through this newsletter, we appreciate the trust and interest you place in our work.
As we prepare for the coming year, we remain committed to supporting meaningful exchanges, opening doors for businesses and institutions, and contributing to a stronger and more vibrant EU-Japan partnership. We look forward to sharing more stories, insights, and initiatives with you in the months ahead.
Thank you for your continued support. We wish you and your loved ones a peaceful festive season and a bright start to the New Year.
The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation
