Training for companies

The ability to communicate interculturally is an important factor in the successful development of business relations with Japan.
Companies are therefore well advised to prepare their teams for encounters with Japan's specific culture, especially if they have little experience with Japanese partners.
Preparatory training with practice opportunities provides a good basis.

Anna Linder, PhD student in Japanese Studies, offers training courses - online and in person - for employees of companies participating in the EXPO.
