According to Toshihiro Mizutani, Director General, Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), Bengaluru, “Interest in India’s engineering and scientific talent is growing among Japanese companies; as a result, we are welcoming double the number of Japanese companies as compared to last year’s Japan Day.”

JETRO in collaboration with IIT Hyderabad has been conducting the JAPAN DAY since its inception. In 2018, 10 Japanese companies and large corporations joined the event. From that time to now, the number of participants is growing and it was Re-branded as “Japan Career Fair 2023”, the following 20 companies participated this year.

On the occasion of the 6th edition of the Japan Day’ at IITH, the Director General said, “Since there is a critical lack of IT engineers in Japan, several businesses there are eager to employ motivated Indian expertise. The participating Japanese companies anticipate that IITH students will play key roles in emerging technological innovation and global strategies. Former “JAPAN DAY” has now expanded to “Japan Week” to showcase other aspects, including Japanese culture. We hope that the students explore a little about Japanese culture and also gain some essence of the Japanese corporate culture.”
