Program of events and initiatives for members
The AJBC is developing a calendar of events that will specifically and generally benefit all members, regardless of sector, company size or international experience.
Members are also invited to nominate events or propose initiatives that will assist them to better connect with Japanese opportunities and would be of benefit to fellow members.
Events and initiatives may be hosted solely within Western Australia, or virtually connect with identified and engaged targets in Japan, or require delegation visit programs to Japan once international borders open.
Examples of events that are being currently being planned include:
Sector-specific

Non-sector specific
