made easy.

Why Japan?

Japan is the world’s third largest economy (after the US and Mainland China) with a sophisticated business environment and advanced infrastructures. Japan has been one of the fastest growing economies and home to technology and product innovation making it highly attractive as a long-term business investment.

Japan is an industrialised global free market-oriented economy with some government influence on production. The market’s largest industries include automobiles, automotive parts manufacturing, electronic equipment, machine tools, chemicals, textiles and processed foods. Japan’s top export destinations are the United States, Mainland China, South Korea, Thailand and Hong Kong SAR, giving the nation’s strong economic ties to its surrounding Asia Pacific neighbours.

Structural reforms to unlock productivity are seen as central to strengthening the economy in the long-run. The government has recently announced a plan toward reducing administrative costs by 20% by 2020 in areas that are considered to generate the heaviest burdens, such as business approvals, licenses and social insurance.

Reasons to do business in Japan include:

  • A growing and sophisticated market
  • An innovation hub & business-friendly infrastructure
  • High living standards
