Tokyo – The Italian Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ICCJ) has launched the first edition of the competition “Alessandro Valignano” for the promotion of Italian businesses in Japan. Via the contest, the ICCJ wants to give an economic and logistical support to those companies that, by the nature of their products or services, have the potential to enter the Japanese market. Candidates are required to complete, by November 18, a PowerPoint presentation of the company, its products and its entry strategy. The winner will get a round ticket to Tokyo; a desk at the ICCJ headquarters with internet connection and a room in which to organize meetings for three months. The company will also be assisted in all linguistic matters and will remain under the supervision of the division ICCJ – Business Services, for the duration of its stay. (9Colonne)
