Reports
【Reflection】
The event brought together Japanese and UK female business
owners and entrepreneurs interested in expanding their
businesses between the UK and Japan.
The day began with a panel discussion entitled “Building
Societies Where Women Can Thrive – Supporting the Next
Generation of Female Leaders”, where senior leaders from both
nations shared their experiences, insights, and advice on
leadership, inclusion, and fostering environments in which
women can succeed.
Following this, the speed mentoring and group networking
sessions allowed participants to engage directly with
accomplished women leaders from a variety of sectors,
including finance, pharmaceuticals, hospitality, and
innovation. These interactive sessions facilitated lively
discussion and the exchange of practical guidance, enabling
participants to gain actionable insights for their own
entrepreneurial journeys.
The venue was filled with energy throughout the day, and we
received positive feedback from speakers and panelists.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Building on the connections and insights gained during the
event, we will continue to work closely with partners
including Japan, to remove barriers to trade for women and
support women-owned businesses to access opportunities in
international trade.
