JETRO is now recruiting companies with an interest in setting up an office in Japan, or are currently seeking partners to establish a business in the Japanese market to participate in the JETRO ZONE @ JAIMA SHOW 2009 Invitation Program.
In 2008, JETRO-Houston sent 5 Texas companies to Japan to participate in JETRO ZONE events. Participants received nation-wide exposure, gained access to decision makers, and took part in prearranged one-on-one business meetings. Today, we’d like to ask your help in finding quality companies that would be interested in participating in the 2009 program. JETRO defines a quality company as one having the desire, as well as the resources to operate in Japan.
