30th EU-Japan Summit: Launching the Competitiveness Alliance and the EU-Japan Centre’s Enhanced Role

Manuel Hubert, EU-side Managing Director

On 23 July 2025, the 30th EU-Japan Summit took place in Tokyo, marking another significant milestone in the close partnership between Japan and the European Union. Among the key announcements from an industrial cooperation perspective, the Leaders agreed to launch a Japan-EU Defense Industry Dialogue and to deepen cooperation in the defense sector. They also announced the establishment of the Japan-EU Competitiveness Alliance to enhance collaboration on trade and economic security, monitor and strengthen supply chain resilience, reduce strategic dependencies, and promote investment opportunities.
To ensure that this new Alliance reflects the views of the business community, the joint statement reiterates the important role of the EU-Japan Business Roundtable (BRT) in conveying industry perspectives. The EU-Japan Centre, which serves as the BRT secretariat, will continue supporting the BRT to ensure it can effectively contribute to the Japan-EU Competitiveness Alliance.
The Summit statement also explicitly refers to the "strengthened" EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation as a key supporter in implementing activities under the Competitiveness Alliance. We are honoured by the trust and opportunity the Leaders have given us to contribute to this important initiative.
As you will discover from the wealth of information and activities in this newsletter edition, cooperation between economic actors in Japan and the EU is highly dynamic—whether through activities supported by the EU-Japan Centre or by our European and Japanese partner organizations. Please reach out if you need support to establish or expand your business in Japan and take advantage of our complimentary services. Enjoy the reading!
