Japan is one of the UK's most important fashion markets. British clothing and accessories companies have exported more than £500m worth of goods there over the past 10 years - and that does not include the volumes sold under licence by a myriad of brands. Yet Japan remains a hard market to crack.

Japanese businesses have unique requirements and there is a very distinct retail structure. This seminar is designed to help you find a way in.

Selling to Japan will:

Provide an overview of the market and how it operates
Identify the opportunities and dangers for British business
Detail the routes to market
Explain how Trading Houses and big business work
Give personal accounts of how to succeed

Speakers to include:

Tim Robinson – Kurt Salmon Associates
Paul Alger – UK Fashion Exports
