“Pakistan Investment Seminar & Business Talk” has been cancelled due to concerns over the spread of corona virus.
UNIDO ITPO Tokyo jointly with JICA will organize “Pakistan Investment Seminar & Business Talk” on 16 March in Osaka and on 17 March in Tokyo.
Pakistan enjoys a stable economic growth and has a large consumer market with over 200 million population. The country is located adjacent to the 3.3 billion market including China, Middle East, South Asia and Central Asia. Around 80 Japanese companies have already invested in Pakistan mainly in the manufacturing sector.
The government of Pakistan has recently improved its business climate, which resulted in the upgrading of the “Ease of Doing Business” ranking by the World Bank (2020) from 136th to 108th. Business infrastructure has also been improved as represented in substantial increase of power supply and on-going construction of highways across the country.
The seminar will introduce Pakistan’s investment climate and business opportunities. A business delegation is scheduled to visit Japan who are interested in building partnerships with Japanese private businesses in sectors such as food processing, textile, automobiles, IT and logistics. Business matching will also be organized following the seminar.
We invite you to join the seminar and business matching.
