Japan remains a challenging but interesting market for Swiss SME
Under the era of uncertainty, some brightening points can be found in Japan, namely the coming Tokyo Olympic and Paralympics game and growing MedTech industry.
Last year, we sadly had to cancel our annual event for the Swiss-Japanese business community, due to the ongoing effects of the coronavirus crisis. Switzerland Global Enterprise is now pleased to announce, in partnership with JETRO and SJCC, that the event will take place online as a webinar on March 2, 2021, 11:00 - 12:20 (CET/MEZ).
This new digital version of Impact in Japan will focus on the two hot topics by prestigious guest speakers live from Japan. They will give you the newest information on the current situation on: the organization of the Olympic and Paralympics in August 2021 and the landscape of the MedTech Market in Japan.
