In support of the recommendations of health officials, the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation is postponing the 3rd edition of its successful programme "Get Ready for Japan" until September 2020.

"Participating in the course gave me the confidence to continue working within the Japanese market, now that my knowledge about different layers of Japan is even better and deeper. Among many things, I learned how important it actually is to rea the air - a skill that requires a lot of experience.
During this mission to Japan, I have strengthened or established relationships with many old and new business contacts which hopefully will lay the future path for our success.
Now, the focus is to actively stay connected and make sure that follow-up trips are always in the horizon. In addition, I am looking forward to using more of the services provided by the EU-Japan Centre in the future.
Advice for the future participants – going to Japan firsthand is inevitable for being successful there. Just be patient and humble, try to adopt and learn from the Japanese-way.

Getting ready for Japan makes everything much easier in the future." Sander SULANE, Founder and export manager, Artisan Honey OÜ, GRFJ 2019 participant.
