This year’s guest speakers include Hiro Kagohashi, Executive Vice President of Mazda Toyota Manufacturing; Mark Moore, General Manager of Topre America Corporation; David Sides, International Trade Manager at the Alabama Department of Commerce; and Kiyoshi Tanigawa, Executive Director of Keidanren (Japan Business Federation) USA. They will share their perspectives on conducting Japanese business in Alabama from both Japanese and local viewpoints, as well as provide an overview of the current and future Japan-Alabama business relationship.
As part of the Business Speaker Series (BSS) organized by the Keizai Koho Center (KKC) and the National Association of Japan-America Societies (NAJAS), we were honored to receive sponsorship and support from both organizations. Since its founding in 1978, the Keizai Koho Center (Japan Institute for Social and Economic Affairs or KKC) has served as a key platform for the Japanese business community to engage with its stakeholders both domestically and internationally.
