Bavarian Japanese Chips Partnership

Japan is Bavaria's second most important Asian trading partner, while Bavaria is home to 8,000 Japanese and now a stronghold of Japanese companies in Germany with around 450 offices.

The joint project "Bavarian Japanese Chips Partnership" links the two key economic sectors of semiconductors and mobility.
