Webinar: Key Trends of Trade & FDI in Japan

　We, Fenetre Partners, organize a webinar which explains the key trends of international trade and foreign direct investment in Japan to trade/FDI managers working for an economic development organization.

　The Japanese market is very tricky and different from any other growing markets in Asia. We are losing half a million population every year and still under the long term economic stagnant. The average income hasn’t increased in the past few decades while huge Japanese companies are growing steadily by global expansion. This situation seems very complicated for a foreigner who doesn’t live and work in Japan.

This webinar gives you the knowledge about key trends of the Japanese market and insights about how to make successful projects on investment and trade promotion in Japan.
