Rugby Alliance III: Pass the Passion

From: 14/11/2019 12:00 AM
to: 14/11/2019 2:00 PM
Venue: Grand Hyatt Tokyo, Coriander Room

The Rugby World Cup (RWC) 2019 has delivered a huge impact for Japan. According to World Rugby, the RWC 2019 has been making records with the biggest ever official merchandise program. Fan engagement is also high, with 270,000 already having attended Fan Zones as of late September, and a 25.5 rating for NTV broadcast of the opening match. The Japan Rugby Football Union has described the RWC 2019’s final whistle as merely the starting point for their ambitious 10-year growth plan, which includes revamping the domestic professional league. We can expect legacy and leverage to be key topics in this session.

Come and join the Rugby Alliance for its third instalment where we will exchange stories from the RWC 2019 from a variety of stakeholders as they explore the impact of the tournament and highlight examples of successes and learnings. With the RWC engaging a broad range of constituents and industries, including accommodation, transport, tourism promotion, sports hospitality, local communities, and the reception of inbound tourists in regional Japan, there are a number of key lessons learned from this major tournament.

With the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games following soon after the RWC, the international and local business community will be wishing to “pass the passion” from RWC19 to ensure that the Games are a success and demonstrate a return on the significant investment required of the host city and country. This luncheon will provide best-practice examples from official and non-official sponsors to inspire more businesses to participate in the excitement.

Join us on November 14 for what will be a lively and passionate discussion on the power of sports, mega-events, and how they can be leveraged to Japan’s— and all of our—advantage.

Date: November 14, 2019
Time: 12:00 - 14:00

Impacts on Businesses caused by the Limitations on Re-Entering Japan for Non-Japanese Citizens

From: 19/06/2020 5:00 PM
to: 19/06/2020 6:30 PM
Venue: ZOOM Online Webinar

This year, COVID-19 has radically affected freedom of circulation. With the World Health Organization declaring the coronavirus outbreak a pandemic, several countries have been revising their entry policies.
Japan currently has a ban on the entry of non-Japanese nationals who have visited, for instance, Europe within 14 days prior to entering Japan. While the EU has similar restrictions, it exempts legal residents of Europe, independent of nationality, meaning that Japanese nationals residing in the EU can enter.
Not being able to re-enter Japan puts great strain on foreigners working in Japan and companies, as some of their employees cannot leave Japan and come back, except in special circumstances. On May 15, the European Business Council in Japan (EBC) issued a statement on the limitations for non-Japanese nationals to re-enter Japan as it believes there is no rational and scientific reason for treating residents differently based on nationality.
In this EBC Briefing (webinar), we will get an overview of the current situation. We will also hear from the European private sector pointing out damages to businesses and to the Japanese economy.
N.B.: This meeting will be held under the Chatham House rule.
Program:

1. Overview of the current situation on the re-entry ban in Japan for non-Japanese nationals

Mr Francesco Fini, Minister-Deputy Head of the EU Delegation

Mr Ulrich Kirchhoff, Attorney-at-Law, Partner of ARQIS Foreign Law Office
2. Impact on foreign businesses in Japan and for the Japanese economy

Mr Donald Bunckenburg, Senior Director for Japan and Korea, Lufthansa Group

Mr Claus Eilersen, Advisor and Executive Consultant for several companies in the Healthcare sector – pharma, biotech, medical devices
3. Q & A

To register, please send an email to:  ebc@ebc-jp.com  – If you have questions prior to the webinar, kindly send them when you register.
