Czech–Japan Science and Technology Days
The industrial cooperation between the Czech Republic and Japan in recent years and the volume and intensity of recent Japanese investment inflow into the Czech economy have no precedence in perhaps any country of Central Europe or possibly in other regions of the world as well. The Czech Republic has recently managed to attract a large number of Japanese companies that have successfully started operations in various kinds of businesses.
Of the 195 Japanese companies registered in the country until as of June 2007, 76 are directly involved in the manufacturing sector, three are engaged in research and development (R&D), and 116 are doing business in other sectors such real estate, trading, commerce, forwarding, etc.
It is therefore quite natural that both Japan and the Czech Republic, could and should involve themselves very seriously in searching forseeking out synergies in scientific and technological development in both countries so as to achieve much stronger and much more efficient results of joint research and development projects and programmes.
Supporting bilateral contacts and cooperation in the field of science and technology is in full accordance with the "Joint Statement toward Strategic Partnership between the Czech Republic and Japan", which was agreed upon by the Prime prime ministers of Japan and the Czech Republic during the official visit of Junichiro Koizumi to the Czech Republic in August 2003.
To meet this aim both sides have engaged in organizing the Czech-Japan Science and Technology Days (CJSTD) alternatively in Prague and in Tokyo. (more about CJSTD...)
