LPA Tokyo participates to Kyoto Technical Tour organized by METI

As Managing Partner of LPA Tokyo and board member of the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (CCIFJ), Lionel Vincent had the honour of representing the Chamber at the Kyoto Technical Tour organised on 9 June by METI (Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan) and Kyoto City, in collaboration with the G7 Chambers of Commerce in Japan.

This high-level visit offered participants a deep dive into Kyoto’s “Kyo-Working” initiative, a strategic effort to enhance the city’s attractiveness for foreign direct investment and international talent.

The programme included visits to leading companies such as Omron, Shimadzu, and Arkema’s research centre, as well as the dynamic Kyoto Research Park, home to over 550 companies.
It was also an opportunity to meet five innovative startups, several of which are actively seeking French business partners – a promising avenue for future collaboration.
We were especially pleased to engage with the City of Kyoto, now a proud member of the CCIFJ.

A warm thank you to the organisers and fellow participants from the G7Chambers for such a rich and forward-looking exchange!
