What technological trends and innovations are there in the Japanese market and how relevant are they for Bavarian companies? Where are Bavarian technologies particularly attractive for export to Japan? In which areas are there still strategic gaps in the Bavarian economy that could be closed by Japanese technologies, for example by attracting companies to Bavaria?
The technology team at Bayern Innovativ provided us, as the representative office for Japan, with very intensive and professional support from the very first step in the creation of a trend and technology radar for Japan. The result was a tool that can be used in a variety of ways in decision-making processes . It was very exciting and insightful to be able to visualize the many cross-connections between individual sectors and their significance. This has already created immediate added value in the preparation of delegation trips in both directions.
