The Austrian Embassy Commercial Section (ADVANTAGE AUSTRIA Tokyo)  and the Austrian Business Agency (ABA) together with the Central Japan Economic Federation cordially invite interested companies, investors and multipliers from across the Chubu region to our Austrian Business Seminar in Nagoya on Dec. 8, 2026. 

When expanding into the European Union, choosing the right location for your business operations is a strategic decision that can significantly influence the pace of expansion and investment efficiency.

 

This seminar will highlight Austria’s strategic advantages as a business location and gateway to the EU market, drawing on real-world examples of Japanese companies operating in Austria and insights into the local business environment. Following the presentations, participants will have the opportunity to exchange views with the speakers, industry experts and fellow attendees during a networking reception.
