Texas' central location, great logistics infrastructure, low cost of doing business and other factors have made the state a destination for a growing number of Japanese companies. Japan’s status as the world’s third largest economy and one of Texas’s largest international trading partners offers great potential for Texas companies looking to expand their reach into Asia.

Join us for an overview of Japan including a look at the Japanese corporate presence in the U.S., Japanese cultural characteristics, promising sectors for U.S. goods and services, and resources for American companies wishing to establish a corporate entity in Japan. There will be 2 sessions of the same briefing and you can attend either one.

This seminar will take place during the Oita Japan Festival, so come for the briefing but also enjoy food, cultural demonstrations, performances and more!

This event is presented by the Austin-Oita Sister Cities Committee, Jetro Japan External Trade Organization, and the Greater Austin Asian Chamber of Commerce.
