Executive Director’s Messag Executive Director’s Messag Executive Director’s Message Recently I have read some inter- esting articles on international trade and invest- ment in the Globe and Mail. In Canadian companies are investing, just not here (Sept. 1, 2015), I learned that Canadian compa- nies have increased foreign direct in- vestment despite the weakening loonie. Canada’s foreign affiliates change country’s trade game (May 21, 2015) also explains that Canadian companies have conducted their foreign dealings not through shipments of goods made in Canada, but rather via their own affiliates set up in foreign countries. With the globalization of the world economy, doing business in foreign countries can’t be avoided. Companies are forced to locate near clients, part- ners and markets. Japan is the 3rd larg- est economy in the world with many world-class companies as potential partners. Due to the proximity of the huge Asian market, Japan can be also your strategic business location in the region. Now the Japanese Government is ac- celerating structural reforms and dereg- ulation in Japan. Taking the example of the corporate tax, it is set to be reduced to 31.33% in FY2016 and the govern- ment will continue to reduce the corpo- rate tax rate down to the 20% range in the FY2017 to create a better business environment for international business. JETRO Canada is here to assist your investment project to Japan. Please feel free to contact us! Inside this issue…. Inside this issue…. Inside this issue….

This market access breakthrough for Fujiwara is the result of the efforts of Fujiwara’s exclusive Canadian distributor, Ontario-based Directrik, along with JETRO’s continued support. Directrik made initial contact with Fuijwara when it was exhibiting in a JETRO organized pavilion for Japanese companies at the 2012 WEFTEC trade show in New Orleans. Subsequently, Directrik President, Sam Directo, was invited to participate on JETRO’s 2013 and 2014 Environmental and Wastewater Buyers Programmes, where JETRO facilitated successful meetings between the two companies. With its first successful installation completed, Fuijwara and Directrik are looking to continue developing opportunities in Canada. The next technol- ogy Fujiwara is focused on bringing to Canada is its Monorail-type Sludge Collector – an inventive system which they believe will find success in Canadian wastewater treatment plants.
