​​About GBMC's Interviews

​​
GBMC's Interviews show examples of success stories of cooperation between organisations/companies from Europe and Japan.  In such cases, their success achieved together in the past has already contributed and been beneficial to the economies in both Europe and Japan.

With the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) to take effect from 2019 onwards, there is no doubt that these examples of working together will only increase and contribute to solve many common problems and challenges we share in our societies. 

We, at GBMC, wish and aim to highlight these success stories that will be stimulated by this ambitious partnership, working together towards common goals, such as solving the problems of sustainable renewable energy, cybersecurity, care for the growing aging population .... 

We thank all past participants for their contribution and we welcome those who wish to take part in the future.
