Full Access to the ETP Alumni Network


The ETPA is an alumni organization at its core.  As an alumni networking organization the ETPA works to broaden the reach of ETP business connections by maintaining a searchable Directory of ETP Alumni, past and present, in a new online database platform.  This interactive database is accessible to all ETPA alumni members, and is the quickest and most reliable way to find former ETP class members.

The ETPA also has a Job Board that offers ETP members a place to post jobs and circulate their CVs to the larger ETPA community.  Additionally the Association organizes networking events in Tokyo and publishes an online calendar of European business events sponsored by the EBC, European Chambers of Commerce and Embassies, Japanese market associations and non-European business entities in Tokyo.

The ETPA relies on an active and involved membership base to help the Association build a more dynamic network that will help all ETPs to realize business success in Japan, Korea and Europe.

ETP Executive Training Programme Japan/Kore a renewed

Dear ETPA members,

We are happy to inform you about the launch of 3 additional ETP training cycles for the period 2012-2015.
 
We are also proud to introduce the new ETP brand and the new ETP website (www.euetp.eu), both reflect the high quality of the programme and the importance of ETP for the European Commission and for European companies. We have wanted to design a dynamic logo which is more focused on business culture and reflecting the singular nature of the programme, as a real quality trademark.
 
Following the ETP evaluation done with your help in February 2010 the European Commission has redesigned ETP in order to stick even more to the European companies' needs giving a clear orientation of the curriculum toward business reality and encouraging the shape of a progressive and tailored Business Strategy throughout the training cycle.
 
Regarding the new challenges in Japan with high opportunities in energy and construction sectors and the coming into force of the Free Trade Agreement between the European Union and Korea, ETP is even more a good response to these defies.
 
As ETP alumni, you are our best Ambassador to promote ETP and to find high level candidates able to bring a valuable contribution to the ETP network and to become as you have done, experts on the Japanese or Korean markets.
 
Please feel free to contact us at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it to have more information about the next cycles, ask for communication materials or leave your testimonial about ETP.
 

Regards,

Mr Thierry Fournier
ETP Project Manager


 

 
EU-Japan Centre: FDI in Japan

Foreign Direct Investment in Japan

Japan is a wealthy, high-income country with a large and sophisticated domestic market. The Japanese investment landscape has opened up, thanks to deregulation and a sustained action by the government to offer FDI incentives. Japan is also an attractive platform for the East Asian region.

Nowadays, Japan is an attractive location for foreign investments, as witnessed by the active increase in the volume of FDI activity in recent years.

FDI in Japan is a practical course designed for senior executives from EU firms (including SMEs) responsible for defining and rolling out strategic investment plans in Asia/Japan.
