Cooperation Bavaria - Japan | EU programs for international market access and delegation trips

The Bavarian Chips Alliance, Cluster Automotive and Cluster Power Electronics are pooling their activities in the Bavarian cross-cluster project “Bavarian-Japanese Chips Cooperation” in order to motivate Bavarian companies and universities to proactively initiate cooperation with Japanese partners. In a very successful first networking event, representatives of important institutions in Bavaria and Japan have already presented how they support companies and research institutions in initiating cooperation projects - including the Japanese Consulate General in Munich, JETRO, Invest in Bavaria, SMRJ and the Bavarian Funding and Start-up Guide at Bayern Innovativ.

The Enterprise Europe Network (EEN), initiated by the European Commission in 2008, is the largest European support network for small and medium-sized enterprises with around 600 organizations throughout Europe and beyond. The EEN opens doors for you to network with international cooperation partners, including brokerage events and company missions to promote your business and innovations.

The EU Business Hub is an EU-funded programme that supports small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) from the EU to enter the Japanese and South Korean markets. The aim of the program is to strengthen the export and investment activities of European companies and to promote more resilient, sustainable and technologically advanced value chains with both markets. Over the next four years, ten business missions to Japan and South Korea will be organized under this programme. Each of these missions will offer 50 innovative EU companies the opportunity to benefit from comprehensive business coaching. 

The event was free of charge and was held in English .
