Japan

This fascinating country with its deep-rooted culture presents an ideal example of a close-knit, traditional society with respected values and reputed strong work ethic. Its intriguing history, culture and world famous cuisine make Japan a highly appealing destination.

Having overcome considerable economic setbacks at the beginning of the millennium, Japan regained its stability. According to the World Bank, it has the world’s second largest economy - driven by modern technologies and innovation. Local corporations such as Toyota or Sony, as well as multinationals (such as IBM or Nokia) invest in Japan continuously and push the economy forward.

Following decades of turbulent economic developments, Japan has become a major world power and a key member of G8 and APEC. Only the future will show whether Japan is able to retain its eminent position and distinctive business culture in today’s highly competitive global economy.
