EACP ABROAD – SUCCESSFUL EUROPEAN BUSINESS MISSION TO JAPAN
Following the first “fact finding mission” organised in
October 2016 in frame of the European project EACPABROAD,
a business mission to Nagoya/Japan was
conducted from 25 to 29 September 2017 under the
leadership of project’s partner Aerospace Valley. With
ESAC Eskisehir, Niedersachsen Aviation, Rhône-Alpes
Aerospace Cluster and Aerospace Valley a total of 4
EACP-ABROAD clusters have attended the mission
accompanying a total of 12 of their member companies.
Three distinct events were covered during the “Chubu Aerospace Week”:
1. France-Japan workshop on Civil Aviation Industry Cooperation (25 September)
2. Aeromart Nagoya business convention (26-28 September)
3. International cluster seminar and industrial site visits (29 September).
Participants of the mission have gained interesting insight into the Japanese
aerospace landscape; combined with cultural learnings. On cluster management
level existing contacts and cooperation have been fostered; in particular the
French clusters Aerospace Valley, AStech and SAFE have jointly signed a MoU-
agreement with their local cluster counterparts of C-ASTEC (Chubu Aerospace
Industrial Technology Center) and GNI (Greater Nagoya Initiative).
The next major aerospace event in Japan will take place from 28 to 30 November
2018: the Japan International Aerospace Exhibition in Tokyo.
