The mission, organised by the Department of Economy, Finance, and Business through the Institute of Promotion (Info), aims to foster relationships and present the region as a hub for Japanese and Korean businesses looking to expand.
The main goal is to strengthen business connections with Japan by interacting with diplomatic and trade representatives and showcasing Murcia’s potential at ‘Foodex,’ the largest agri-food fair in the Asia-Pacific region.
The Commissioner emphasised the importance of exploring collaborations in research, innovation, and commerce, highlighting the mission’s goal to understand Japan’s public research system and its focus on technology development. The delegation also seeks to learn about advancements in disruptive technologies in South Korea and explore investment opportunities, leveraging the EU-South Korea Free Trade Agreement for the benefit of regional businesses.
