About
As the world’s third largest economy, Japan is a country that’s renowned for its economic stability and high purchasing power, making it an attractive market for high-end products and services.
The EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA), in force since 2019, offers several advantages to businesses, including waiving customs duties on 97% of European products exported to Japan, as well as facilitating access to Japanese public markets.
EXPO 2025 will welcome over 28 million expected visitors over 6 months, providing a unique platform to promote your products and services on a market where consumers value quality, design and innovation.
