“The development of Africa-focused case studies contributes to enhancing regional and thematic diversity within the Japan Case Center, while providing Japanese business professionals with opportunities to deepen their interest in the African market and cultivate a global perspective.
This, in turn, promotes collaboration between the private sectors of Africa and Japan, contributing to the economic growth of both sides.”
