JETRO to launch JAPAN STORE
The ‘JAPAN STORE’ ( https://www.amazon.com/JAPANSTORE) is a dedicated Amazon site opened on Amazon.com in the United States as a part of efforts to support sales channels for Japanese products and enabled Amazon customers more access to purchase authentic Japanese products.
The JAPAN STORE will come alive during the Japan Festival in Mississauga. The visitors to the festival will have a chance to visit the booth to touch and experience selected products from the JAPAN STORE.
There will be 52 product samples from 25 companies from the JAPAN STORE, with various products from all categories such as yukata, tabi socks, tights, accessories, ukiyo-e prints, hanging scrolls, stuffed animals, toys, kitchenware, and more!
A product introduction card with a QR code is available for each product, and visitors can purchase online on the spot or check product information.
Japan Festival CANADA is one of the largest Japanese Cultural Event in North America and is held outside with the performance stage and booths. The stage performance offers both traditional and modern entertainment, Pop Culture stage performance as well as many booths that offer tasteful Japanese foods and many more experiences to enjoy Japanese culture in Canada.
After holding their Festival virtually in 2020 and 2021, they had a successful return to in-person festival with Japan Festival CANADA 2022. They are now once again in-person festival for Japan Festival CANADA 2023, running from Saturday, August 19th to Sunday, August 20th. More than 100,000 visitors had enjoyed the event last year in 2022 over the weekend. We expect to be even larger visitors this year.

Collision 2023

Generating Innovation with Japan Series
Major Japanese firms, from manufacturing to finance to services in a whole variety of sectors, are increasingly looking to identify new innovation from Canadian start-ups in order to improve their business practices and to introduce new ideas and technology into the Japanese market and to their network of global clients.
For start-ups, the Japanese market (GDP: approx US$5 trillion; Pop.: 125 million) can be daunting but potentially hugely rewarding. One of the best ways to enter that market is through partnering with Japanese firms.
This series of events will provide unique opportunities for Canadian start-ups and major Japanese firms to connect and share information. Through reverse-pitch presentations, Japanese firms will explain about their technology needs and, during the networking session and follow-up meetings, Canadian start-ups can explain about their technology solutions.
Through this series of partnering sessions across Canada, JETRO aims to generate new innovation through partnerships between leading Japanese firms and innovative Canadian start-ups.
