OVERVIEW

Japan is Australia's second biggest export market behind China, and the third biggest importer into Australia after China and the US. In light of the events of earlier this year, Australia has, and will continue to play, a vital role in the recovery of the Japanese economy through continued support of Japanese industries and particularly in areas where Australia is seeking to grow, such as in renewable energy technology. The trade relationship between Australia and Japan is enduring, and one that isn't restricted to a few big Australian companies. Australia's trade with Japan is diverse - with ABS figures showing that over 3600 Australian businesses export to Japan and 14 per cent of all Australian small and medium exporting enterprises sell to Japan.

Join CEDA to gain insights into the strength and importance of the relationship between Japan and Australia and the importance of maintaining that relationship for the mutual ongoing prosperity of our nations. This CEDA event will examine the strength of the Australian/Japan relationship and the opportunities for both countries to strengthen and deepen this bond in the future.
