JASH is pleased to present the Third Annual Japan Update Houston Conference, on Friday, January 26, 2018.

This conference, made possible with support from the Sasakawa Peace Foundation and the National Association of Japan America Societies (NAJAS), will provide the Houston-Harris County community with the opportunity to explore the significance of Japanese investment in Texas.

Over the last several years, Houston, Harris County and Texas have welcomed a large number of new Japanese companies and residents.  During this period, Japanese manufacturing confidence has been on the rise and Texas has witnessed substantial new Japanese investment in areas such as HVAC systems, electrical equipment, automobiles and the high-speed rail. 

One overlooked contributor to this growth has been financing provided by Japanese banks, particularly the Japan Bank of International Cooperation.

Join distinguished guests and industry leaders for an in-depth look at Japan's investment Texas.
