Japan is the third largest economy in the world with great innovative strength in the technological and scientific fields. The bilateral relations between Japan and the Netherlands are excellent, also in the economic field (trade, investment and technological and scientific cooperation). Since the inauguration of the government led by Prime Minister Abe Japan’s highly developed economy shows a new dynamism which offers many opportunities for Dutch business, also in our top sectors.
