JMEC Business Training Programme

Inviting participants for JMEC 20!

Looking to improve your business skills and gain more practical experience in a multinational, English language environment? Imagine how much you could benefit from meeting and learning directly from senior business executives and successful entrepreneurs in Tokyo.

Sponsored by 17 foreign Chambers of Commerce in Japan, The Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC) has been delivering a unique business training programme for 20 years. The programme helps mid-career managers develop practical skills and hands-on experience to create a complete business plan for a real product or service. Participants learn the nuts and bolts of doing business in Japan while expanding their business and social networks by joining nearly 1,000 JMEC alumni.

JMEC Programme Director Trond Varlid says, "Some JMEC alumni have used their JMEC skills to set up their own businesses. Others have made new connections - and several have been hired by their project client companies".
