October 2019

From October 8 to 10, JETRO jointly held the ギャンブル ゲーム 無料usiness Conference (RBC) in Yokohama with the city government and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, an event consisting of direct promotion by the mayor and matching with local companies by inviting business people from overseas. With the attendance of nine companies in fields related to life science from the United States and Germany, the advantages of the city, which is home to a concentration of global companies, and the benefits of doing business in the prefecture were explained.

In line with "BioJapan 2019"―an international bio-business exhibition held ギャンブル ゲーム 無料 during the same period—JETRO convened a special event called "Yokohama Day" on October 10, where business matching talks and pitch presentations were made in the same venue. The invited overseas companies were able to have meetings with Japanese companies under the cooperation of the Life Innovation Platform Yokohama (LIP.Yokohama) and the Life Science Innovation Network Japan (Link-J), which has an official partnership with Yokohama City. Invitees praised the event, saying, "We had business talks with future potential," and "It gave me a new business idea!" At the pitch presentation, they promoted their products and services in front of numerous visitors.

On the first day of the seminar of October 8, participants visited the Shonan Health Innovation Park (iPark) and Link-J. Following the tour of the facility of iPark, they had business matching talks with companies which have office space there. After the meeting, companies shared positive comments like the following: "We were able to talk with potential partners," and "The tour became a catalyst for considering utilizing this facility in the future." Their next destination was "Global Life Science 2019," organized by Link-J. At the event, the city government introduced the invitees, who later engaged in proactive exchange with Japanese companies at a networking reception.

In the afternoon of October 9, the participants visited the Advanced Medical Research Center of Yokohama City University (YCU) to see the facility, make pitch presentations and meet with professors. They expressed satisfaction, saying it was meaningful being able to talk with the faculty who is hard to come across in the usual course of business.

After the RBC, invitees gave the following praise: "We were enticed by the allures of Yokohama," and "We would like to consider investing in the city in the future." The event was a successful opportunity to widely publicize the business environment of the city of Yokohama.
