Why Attend?

With global competition in automotive batteries intensifying, the challenges faced domestically in the non-automotive sector remain significant. In light of recent government engagement through policy formulation and execution that began in 2021, the landscape for battery production in Japan is changing markedly. Despite initiatives and investments aimed at enhancing the industry, Japanese battery manufacturers struggle against the influx of lower-priced imports.

Japanese firms boast a strong safety record, an area where they can build competitive advantages. Crucially, the seminar will emphasize strategies for leveraging Japan’s high-quality and safety standards as weapons against the rhythms of international competition from South Korea and China, while also addressing ongoing domestic challenges.
