The Quebec–Japan Business Forum invites you to its Annual General Meeting, a unique opportunity to review the past year, and more importantly, to take part in an exceptional strategic exchange.
On this occasion, we are pleased to present a conference and panel featuring Mr. Mario Girard, Delegate General of Quebec in Tokyo. He will be joined by four panelists: Mr. Julien Lassonde (BDO Canada), Mr. Julian Lucchesi (Centech), Mr. Nicholas Routhier (CubicSpace Technologies), and Mr. Philippe Valentine (Quebec Tech), who will share their practical insights on:
- the startup ecosystem in Japan
- the innovation partnerships with major Japanese corporations
- the positioning of Quebec companies in the Japanese market
A discussion rich in insights for any organization seeking to better understand and succeed in Japan. The conference will be followed by an interactive exchange and a networking session, in an atmosphere conducive to strategic connections.
We will also have the honour of welcoming Mr. Akihiko Uchikawa, Consul General of Japan in Montreal, as guest of honour.
This session will be preceded by the Forum’s Annual General Meeting.
