Investing in Americas: Japan Edition
As the United States continues to draw global investment, driven by major incentive programmes and growth across semiconductors, energy and advanced manufacturing, Japanese corporates are sharpening their US strategies. The questions are increasingly practical: where to invest, how to navigate regulation and incentives, and which local partners can help move quickly from decision to delivery.
Investing in Americas: Japan Edition convenes senior leaders from Japanese business, US economic development organisations (EDOs) and the advisers supporting cross-border expansion to tackle those questions head-on.
Through senior-level keynotes, expert interviews and moderated panel discussions, alongside curated networking, VIP roundtables and targeted one-to-one meetings, the event will help turn insight into execution and accelerate real investment outcomes in the US.
