Prospects for further German-Japanese cooperation in the environmental sector

Japan External Trade Organization and Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) will host the "German-Japanese Economic Symposium 2009" in Munich (Germany) on December 8th 2009.

The event will offer an opportunity to reflect on the economic relations between Japan and Germany, which will celebrate 150 years of official trade ties in 2011, and examine how they can be expanded further, particularly in the environmental sector.

Examples of environmental technologies from both countries and areas for future Japan-Germany collaboration in this area will be discussed, and representatives from Japanese and German companies operating successfully in each other's markets will share their experience and methods for success. Information desks will be set up in the event foyer to provide information on business environments and opportunities in regions of both countries.
