Organized by the Office of Economic and Small Business Development, the event introduced local entrepreneurs to export and investment opportunities in Japan.
In her keynote address, Acting Consul General Tsuda highlighted Japan’s position as the world’s fourth-largest economy, its cutting-edge technologies, particularly in robotics, and its stable legal and business environment. She also expressed hope for a future trade and investment mission from Broward to Japan.
Mr. Eric Ahorner, President of Japan Business Consulting, provided practical advice on doing business in Japan, offering insights into Japanese business culture and tips for building long-term, successful partnerships.
