Mark Logan has been admitted to the prestigious Japan Market Expansion Competition based out of JETRO, Tokyo.
The Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC) is a business program in Japan designed to foster the development of foreign businesses (project clients) in Japan while strengthening the business skills of up-and-coming executives.
JMEC brings together highly motivated professionals willing to challenge themselves and companies in need of a support in the Japanese market. The core of the program is a competition in which groups compete to create the best business plan for their respective company clients.
JMEC was initiated by the Australian & New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan in 1993. This competitive business-training program is supported by eighteen foreign chambers of commerce in Japan, representing the countries of America, Australia & New Zealand, Austria (represented by the Austrian Business Council), Belgium & Luxembourg, Britain, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Norway, South Africa, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The program also receives corporate sponsorship from members of the business community within Japan.
Speaking on the first day of the program Mark said:
“JMEC offers me the chance to bring together two decades of experience in Asia Pacific, along with my background in politics, diplomacy and business to try something new and challenging. Thanks to the team at JMEC and the Irish Chamber for supporting me through this scholarship opportunity”.
