Creating and connecting opportunities
Japan has very important trade and investment ties with Western Australia. Japanese companies and investors played a pioneering role in the development of the modern Western Australian economy over the last 40 years, and that role continues to grow and deepen through Japanese participation in a number of recent major developments.
Looking outward, Japan is one of the world’s largest and most sophisticated consumer markets, and presents myriad opportunities for export-ready and focused Western Australian companies.
Assisting with inbound investment
Our offices play a pivotal role in assisting Japanese companies interested in investing in Western Australia. Our Tokyo office has extensive ties with Japanese government departments, company headquarters and market movers in Tokyo. Now in its 26th year,our Kobe office coordinates our comprehensive Sister State relationship with Hyogo Prefecture, and provides a direct portal for doing business in this vibrant economy.
