The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation is a unique venture between the European Commission (Directorate-General for Enterprise & Industry) and the Japanese Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI). The Centre has been established as a core non-profit organisation for fostering the cooperation envisaged by the two authorities. Its main objective is to promote industrial cooperation between European and Japanese companies.
Since its establishment in 1987, the Centre has been serving its objective and the needs of business people in both the EU and Japan through management training programmes (Japan Industry Insight, Topical Missions), student in-company traineeships (Vulcanus), business information services, seminars, and support for the annual EU-Japan Business Dialogue Round Table. It also manages the Energy programme .
More than 1,500 alumni have participated in the training programmes, and the Centre's activities are widely recognised as effective by both the EU and Japanese authorities. In the ever-changing EU environment, the Centre tries to meet its expectations as a bridge between European and Japanese business people.
The Centre and its activities are funded by the Directorate-General for Enterprise & Industry of the European Commission and the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry of Japan, as well as generous donations from private corporations.
