It contains policy recommendations regarding common challenges facing the business communities of Japan and the EU in areas such as economic security, green transition, digitalization, standardization, regulatory harmonization, and R&D and skills.

*The 25th Annual Meeting 2023 was co-chaired by Endo Nobuhiro (executive advisor, NEC Corporation) and Philippe Wahl (chairman and CEO, La Poste Groupe).
