Events » The Business Travelers Series: Navigating Japan
As opportunities for business between Japan and Michigan grow, trade between the two continues to thrive. Japan is Michigan’s fifth-largest market, with Michigan exporting over USD 1.58 billion worth of goods to Japan in 2023. Although Michigan businesses already have a strong presence in Japan’s economy, there are numerous possibilities for growth and further development of commercial business ties. The key to taking advantage of these opportunities with the free trade agreement is to understand the current best practices of doing business in Japan.
Join us on May 15th to gain insights into the country's robust trade relationship with Michigan and the U.S., and learn about the advantages of navigating Japan's business-friendly environment and vibrant markets, during our virtual Business Travelers Series session on Navigating Japan! We will cover how-tos and best practices for doing business in the Japanese market and how to maneuver through cultural nuances that business professionals often face while working with or traveling to Japan.
Topics of discussion will include, but are not limited to:
- Country Overview
- Business Meetings
- Gift Giving
- Communication
- Business Attire
- Negotiating Tactics
