Japan

As Japan is the most important offshore market for so many in British Columbia’s value-added industry, BC Wood continues to place great importance in helping members develop new business opportunities in this market. Jim Ivanoff runs the Japan Program from the BC Wood Tokyo office along with Miho Ohashi and is there to support members with business development strategies, market intelligence, and market access issues such as product certifications. The core component of our activities in Japan remains the trade show program which focuses on bringing members face-to-face with buyers at major industry shows such as the Japan Home Show, the Nikkei Architecture & Construction Materials Show, and Tokyo Designers Week.
