The Dutch government in collaboration with ChemistryNL is intensifying relations with Japan in the field of sustainable and circular chemistry and materials. Do you want to enter the Japanese market or partner with companies, research institutes and local governmental stakeholders? Do you want to join our NL-Japan network? Please join the digital workshop of ChemistryNL. During this workshop insights will be presented of doing business and innovation in Japan.
Japan and the Netherlands face similar challenges regarding a sustainable industry. Both countries have the same base chemistry, will become a net import country for green hydrogen and have a large potential in offshore energy. Many focus areas in the relations between Japan and the Netherlands are relevant: circular advanced materials and processes, hydrogen, biobased chemistry, plastics recycling, chemistry for food and pharma and critical materials.
These focus areas give opportunities for innovative companies and research institutes in both countries. Prior to the World Expo in Osaka, ChemistryNL organizes two digital workshops to explore future cooperations for Japanese and Dutch companies and knowledge institutes, ahead of future trade and innovation missions and bilateral partner programmes.
Target group
Dutch-based startups, scaleups, SMEs, larger companies and knowledge institutes in the field of chemistry, with a special interest in Japan.
