Japan has the world’s third largest economy and remains one of our most reliable trade and investment partners. Tensions among China, Korea and Japan threaten economic stability in the region, and the formation of the Trans Pacific Partnership without the United States excluded U.S. businesses from preferential tariff and investment protections in Japan. Our panel will discuss these developments and opportunities for Minnesota companies despite the turbulence.
Topics will include:
- The business climate in Japan
- The US-Japan relationship
- Trade tensions and treaties
- Legal, tax and accounting issues
