The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism are among organizations holding side events at TICAD VI, an excellent opportunity to highlight development issues of the fast-growing continent.
JETRO's side event is called the Japan Fair and will be held at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre, the same venue as TICAD VI, on Saturday and Sunday. Joined by around 100 companies and organizations from Japanese industry, state and local governments and academia, it will be one of the largest fairs JETRO has held in Africa to date, something symbolic of the growing momentum behind Africa-related business seen in Japan.
JETRO has gathered exhibitors of the Japan Fair from various fields in which Japan can be expected to contribute to Africa, such as infrastructure, food value chains, climate change and health issues, so that they may introduce their excellent technologies, products and services.
