SUMMARY:Doing Business in Japan - Part Two

Participants will also learn how to prepare their business for participation in the CQCC trade mission\, with practical guidance on what to consider before entering the market. \n\n\n\nThe workshops will also explore Japanese business culture and etiquette\, as well as LGBTQ considerations when doing business in Japan. Together\, these sessions will help participants navigate the market with greater confidence\, cultural awareness\, and readiness. \n\n\n\nWhether you are considering Japan as a new market or preparing to participate in the CQCC trade mission\, these workshops will provide practical knowledge and tools to help you make the most of the opportunity. \n\n\n\n\n    \n        Our Team    \n\n            \n                            \n                    \n                                                    \n                                                            \n                        \n                        \n                            \n                                Dr. Jackie F.
