Japan as a place of innovation and a gate to Asia
There are many good reasons why companies should get involved in Japan: investment in research and development, the well-educated workforce, excellent infrastructure, stable economic situation, and last but not least, Japan’s excellent geographic location, from which companies can penetrate the Asian market. All these aspects make Japan an attractive location for German companies.
Challenges and solutions
Deals, M&As, local branch offices or subsidiaries in Japan present some challenges to German companies, however. These exist both in the intercultural communication and way of doing business and the language and the country’s tax and legal system.
