JBusiness Forum 2026

The JBusiness Forum is an event for students to share their Japanese business-related projects and presentations given by Japanese business insiders. We invite those interested in learning Japanese business culture and considering employment at a Japanese-related firm in the future. This year’s theme is ‘Connecting Across Borders: Japanese Business & Cultural Identity.’ However, we invite many topics related to Japanese business culture. Join us in exploring the unique intersections and dynamics within this vibrant field.

Alongside our esteemed guest speakers, selected student projects will also be featured. These students will have the opportunity to showcase their undergraduate research at the JBusiness Forum.
