Invest Tokyo Seminar in Sydney

On 19 Jun, the ‘Invest Tokyo Seminar in Sydney’ event was held by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government in collaboration with JETRO. Over 30 participants from organisations such as fintech and IoT companies attended the seminar.

Ms Helen Oh, Senior Policy Officer at NSW Treasury opened the seminar by cerebrating the 35th sister state relationship between Tokyo and New South Wales. There were presentations on a variety of initiatives which encourage overseas companies to operate in Japan, such as the National Strategic Special Zone and the Special Zone for Asian Headquarters. JETRO also presented on their support schemes for overseas companies that are interested in the Japanese market.

Some participants said that it was a great opportunity to get to know the Tokyo Metropolitan Government’s policies, as previously they did not have enough information for them to consider expanding their business in Japan.

In addition to hosting the seminar, the Tokyo delegation attended an international conference on foreign direct investment and ran a booth to promote their initiatives to attract companies from overseas. Also, they had several meetings with government organisations and companies during their stay in Sydney.

Assistant Director SASAKI Yusuke, who is seconded from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government accompanied them and provided support at the seminar. CLAIR Sydney will continue to work to assist Japanese local governments’ activities for attracting companies from overseas and foreign direct investment.

  • To investigate environmental countermeasures, a student and her chaperone from Hikone Technological High School of Shiga Prefecture visited Australia from late July to early August. CLAIR Sydney conducted a briefing on 29 July about Australia’s culture and customs, and accompanied the group to a company visit in Brisbane on 31 July, where the company, known for producing products using a type of seaweed called Asparagopsis, shared insights into their research and production processes.

    During the visit, they received information on efforts to reduce methane emissions from livestock using Asparagopsis, viewed from a carbon-neutral perspective. The student’s proactive participation in the meetings, driven by a desire to engage in environmental initiatives in the future, was impressive.

    In addition to the briefing and accompaniment, we also reached out to the company to request a representative to discuss their Asparagopsis research. CLAIR Sydney will continue to support the activities of Japanese local governments conducting research on topics related to Australia.
