[Press Release] JETRO Expands Support for Foreign-affiliated Firms Targeting Secondary Investment in Japan
JETRO is boosting its support and service for foreign-affiliated firms already operating in Japan seeking to expand their operations into other regions of the country. This follows on JETRO's success of attracting 508 new foreign entrants to the Japan market since 2003, in line with JETRO's role as the principal body tasked with doubling Japan's cumulative foreign direct investment stock.
JETRO's enhanced support and service will tap the deep knowledge and experience of JETRO staff to help companies gather and analyze information, assist them in finding offices or factory sites, and support them in dealing with taxation and legal issues. In addition, firms can make use of free temporary office space (for up to 50 business days) and expert consultation offered at JETRO's Invest Japan Business Support Centers (IBSCs), located in Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka and Kobe.
