10th Japan Day Event

Japan is currently the third largest economy in the world!

With our free trade agreement, we have entered an exciting new chapter in trading relations between the UK and Japan. As a stable country with a large, wealthy, and highly educated consumer market, premium high-quality goods and services are in demand.

The North & Western Lancashire Chamber of Commerce, in partnership with the University of Central Lancashire, and the Department for Business and Trade, are honoured to welcome to Preston our special guest:

Mr. Hideo Yura, Director General – JETRO London
(JETRO (Japan External Trade Organization) works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world)

We invite both existing and new exporters to join us to hear about trading with Japan from our speakers.

• Representatives from the Embassy of Japan in London.
• Lancashire companies speaking about their experiences in the Japanese market.
• Department for Business and Trade who have recently returned from a trade mission representing the Northern Powerhouse.
• North & Western Lancashire Chamber on support for international business.
• UCLan staff and students outlining their cultural connections with Japan.

Japanese companies are also extremely loyal and open to building long-term business relationships with U.K. suppliers. Businesses aiming to enter or expand in Japan may find differences in social and business customs daunting. There will be an opportunity to network and learn from our Japanese representatives as well as colleagues from UCLan and other Lancashire businesses with experience in the market.

A complimentary lunch will be provided to business delegates.
