Poland strengthens economic cooperation with Japan

In early July, the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, visited our country on his way to the NATO summit in Vilnius and met with Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki. During their meeting, they discussed intensifying cooperation in the advanced technology, cybersecurity, and electronics sectors. Two months ago, at the beginning of May, Poland's Minister of Development and Technology, Waldemar Buda, held discussions with Japan's Minister of Economy, Trade, and Industry, Yasutoshi Nishimura, and they decided to establish bilateral economic consultations. The meeting also involved signing agreements on cooperation between Polish and Japanese entrepreneurship support institutions.

"Japanese companies are both interested and not interested in the Polish market," Mihoe Sano, a Japanese journalist and PR expert living in Poland, and an ambassador for Venture Café Warsaw, said.

"According to a survey conducted by JETRO, Japanese companies already operating in Europe are very interested in selling their products and services in the Polish market. On the other hand, companies operating in Japan generally do not share this interest. Perhaps it's something they may consider in the future," she added.

According to a survey by the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) regarding Japanese companies in Europe, Poland has been ranked among the top attractive European markets for them in recent years. One of the factors contributing to this attractiveness is Poland being the largest market in Central and Eastern Europe, with a large availability of highly qualified workforce.
