JETRO Paves the Way for Japan/Canada Business Matching

first place to visit for Canadian companies wanting to do business with Japan.
A leading resource for information on the Japanese market and economy, JETRO is
a catalyst for business development for both Canadian and Japanese companies.
Part of its mandate is to actively seek out opportunities to showcase Japanese
businesses on the Canadian stage, such as the recent GLOBE 2010
Conference and Trade Fair held in
Vancouver. JETRO coordinated the participation of eight leaders in the field of
green technology for the Japan Pavilion, and hosted a seminar featuring their cutting edge, sustainable
technology.
