Description (extract from DIT website):
Part workshop, part discussion forum, you will always find experts in international business in The Export Shed. In this session, we will be turning our attention to Japan, two years on from the historic signing of the UK-CEPA Free Trade Agreement, and with an eye on the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).
You will hear from a panel, including companies and Japan experts from the Department for International Trade and Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce, who will share their experiences and advice on how best to leverage the opportunities. It comes after Japan has recently opened up again after a challenging period of Covid.
