Business, Technology & Culture - Enabling International Cooperation
© NRW.Global Business Japan (NRW Japan K.K.)
How to succeed in doing business across diverse cultural contexts can be a major challenge. This year marks 160 years of German-Japanese friendship. To further intensify the international exchange between the two countries, cultural sensitivity, mutual understanding, and knowledge of specific market characteristics of each country are crucial assets. What do we need to watch out for when working in each other’s country? What can Japanese companies expect from German trade fairs? How can bilateral networks foster business and technology cooperation? How can both nations benefit from international industry-science collaborations? And how can we achieve success in business in Germany and Japan? These are some of the questions we shall address in the next NRW.Global Business Japan Fireplace WebTalk.
