Representatives of Japanese companies met with potential suppliers from the ranks of Czech firms in the Holiday Inn Prague on Tuesday, 13 March 2018. During the event, Japanese manufacturers such as DENSO Manufacturing Czech, Panasonic AVC Networks Czech and Furukawa Electric Autoparts Central Europe demonstrated their products to the thirty Czech suppliers in attendance and requested from them components, materials and technological solutions connected with the Industry 4.0 initiative, particularly for the automotive, electronics, electrical engineering and mechanical engineering industries.
