Japan Food and Beverage Days 2024

The EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation (EEN Japan) invites European importers, distributor wholesalers or retailers to participate in the “Japan Food and Beverage Days 2024”, an online Matchmaking Event, where they can find Japanese manufacturers and exporters of fine food and beverages to enlarge, diversify or build a portfolio of quality Japanese products.

The online business matchmaking platform will introduce Japanese suppliers' profiles, and it will allow European participants to book and schedule online meetings with them.

Together with partners in Japan, the EU-Japan Centre also offers to identify suitable food and beverage suppliers in Japan based on European buyers' requests. The more precise the requests will be, the better opportunities we can create for the European participant to meet with the right business partners.

Dates:
13 March: Deadline for sending meeting requests to Japanese suppliers of your choice
18-19 and 21-22 March 2024, 8:00 a.m. - 11:00 a.m. CET (16:00-19:00 JST) Online meetings

Eligibility:
European importers, distributor wholesalers or retailers in the food and beverage sector from EU member states or countries participating in the Single Market Programme (SMP)

Please note: The platform does not accommodate European suppliers of food and beverages and is limited to buyers from Europe.
