The objective of Japan Day

Over the last two years, our lifestyle has drastically changed from fighting against new coronavirus infections to coexistence.
The Consumer Goods Forum (CGF) Annual Event Japan Day 2022 will focus on how to anticipate the challenges ahead of the SDGs and how to continuously create solutions that include Japan Uniqueness and Japan Originality and we will invite various people to give lectures. Furthermore, we will hold discussions with Gen-Z in a panel discussion format, which will give new notices and discoveries.

We hope that this Japan Day 2022 will serve as a guidepost for the Global Summit Kyoto 2023 to be held in Kyoto in June 2023.
