UK-Japan Tech Forum
Our UK-Japan Tech Forum is a platform for collaboration between the technology sectors of the UK and Japan, run jointly with the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). The Forum brings industry and government from both countries together to find ways to work together on technology and innovation and to strengthen the relationship between the two countries.
For techUK members active in Japan, or thinking about the Japanese market, the Forum is a practical way to keep up with developments, have a say in policy and find new partners.
- Selection: open to all techUK members

Through regular meetings, an annual flagship forum, and joint policy statements and papers, members can shape the priorities for UK-Japan digital cooperation, get direct access to officials on both sides and build links with Japanese industry peers.
