Japan Business Forum

Overview: The Japan Business Forum is an economic event created in partnership with the University of Wyoming and the Consulate-General of Japan in Denver. It will highlight current economic connections and cooperation between Wyoming and Japan, which to date are primarily in large demonstration projects in the energy sector aiming at cleaner energy production, and will also explore opportunities for further development in economic collaboration, including expansion into other sectors. Energy is one of the essential keys when we think about the economy. Japan is the fourth-largest importer of crude oil and the third-largest importer of coal, as such there are many business opportunities in the Japanese energy market. As a state, Wyoming is ranked third in total energy production. Both Japan and Wyoming are aiming to secure low-emission energy technologies to address environmental concerns and production sustainability. Other areas of potential economic cooperation include the sectors of tourism, agriculture, biotech, blockchain technologies, education, construction, and the emerging hydrogen economy.

The forum comes out of a government task force action plan regarding the development of the Japan-US economic relationship at a grassroots level. The forum's goal is to promote mutual understanding for the growth of economic cooperation between Japan and the state of Wyoming, and to contribute toward developing and strengthening the overarching Japan-US relationship.

Date:  March 2

Time: Presentation from 3:00 - 5:00 pm; Reception from 5:00 - 6:00 pm
