Italy and Japan signed an MoU to cross-support their start-up activities

During the 32nd IJBG Assembly held in Venice on 1 December 2022, the Italian Trade Agency (ITA) and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) agreed to cooperate, mutually supporting the two countries’ start-up companies to develop their businesses respectively in Japan and in Italy.

The activity will be defined in the next months as an extension of the existing MoU between the two organizations.
The aim is to strengthen ITA’s “Global Start Up Program” in Japan, and JETRO’s “J-Startup Program” in Italy.

The IJBG Assembly highlighted the relevance of stronger partnerships for innovation and sustainability and the TPO’s Presidents – Mr. Kazushige Nobiutani and Carlo Ferro – agreed to launch it among the start-up companies.
