Guide to Doing Business in Japan

UKTI has produced a guide aimed at companies experienced in overseas trade who are new to doing business with Japan. The aim of the guide is to provide you with basic knowledge about Japan; an overview of its economy, business culture, potential opportunities and an introduction to other relevant issues. Novice exporters will also find it a useful starting point.

Presentation on Opportunities for Business in Japan

From late June till early July this year, three members of the UKTI Japan separately visited the UK. They all had speaking opportunities to talk about the current Japanese economy in view of the earthquake in March and subsequent nuclear problems. Despite the troubles Japan has faced since March, we were strongly encouraged to hear the strong interest in doing business with Japan from the business people we met.

The attached presentation was used on those occasions fully or partly.  We have decided to place it on the UKTI website because we would like to share it with many other British business people who did not have the chance to attend any of those sessions.

Please note:

• All figures and observations contained in this presentation are as of June this year.

We hope you will find this of interest and use to you. Download the presentation.
