Learn the Fundamental Trends in the Logistics Industry

Overview of the Seminar
On October 30, 2025, Funai Soken Logistics Co., a leading logistics consulting firm in Japan, will hold its second online seminar titled "Understanding Key Logistics Trends and Strategies for Compliance: The 2026 Issues and Recent Legal Revisions" from 14:00 to 15:00 JST.
