JETRO Paves the Way for Japan/Canada Business Matching

JETRO With over 50 years of experience in Vancouver, The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is the 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.

Miura North America Inc., profiled one of its flagship products: the MI System is a system of multiple modular units that are linked together and controlled as a single, large capacity boiler through an enhanced energy management system.

This opportunity will be provide to companies with significant potential for expansion in Japan.
