The event is a per­fect oppor­tu­ni­ty to net­work with local entre­pre­neurs, exchange ideas, and enjoy the spir­it of inno­va­tion. The top­ics and pro­grams of Health Busi­ness Break­fasts are adjust­ed to com­pa­nies’ needs and expec­ta­tions.

This time, you will hear from Kana­gawa pre­fec­ture, which is Oulu’s friend­ship city, about oppor­tu­ni­ties relat­ed to enter­ing the Japan­ese mar­ket. Learn about the attrac­tive­ness of Kana­gawa in the life sci­ence indus­try as a local plat­form, busi­ness sup­port ser­vices pro­vid­ed by pub­lic and pri­vate enti­ties, and the “Invest in Kana­gawa” case from Ger­many to find out your path to a suc­cess­ful busi­ness entry to Japan through Kana­gawa.
