In addition, B&Company also collaborates on government-led projects with organizations such as JICA, JETRO, and Japanese ministries including METI and MLIT to promote trade and investment between Japan and Vietnam.

Example of discussion content in the presentation

出典: B&Company

According to B&Company’s analysis, Japanese investment in Vietnam has remained resilient after the COVID-19 pandemic, with many companies continuing to view Vietnam as a market for expansion, particularly in sales and market development. Vietnam’s appeal is supported by market growth, cost competitiveness, a stable business environment, an abundant labor force, and an established Japanese business community. At the same time, Japanese investors carefully assess risks such as administrative procedures, legal uncertainty, policy implementation, and rising labor costs, showing that investment attraction requires not only market potential but also transparency, predictability, and practical investor support.

The presentation also highlighted Vietnam’s multi-layered approach to investment promotion toward Japan, combining policy dialogue, seminars, business missions, local outreach, and business matching. Based on experience, B&Company emphasized that Japanese companies value stability, operational readiness, reliable local partners, and data-backed communication. Since Japanese companies often follow a structured decision-making process, careful preparation, consistent communication, detailed documentation, and timely follow-up are essential to building trust. Drawing on this expertise, B&Company plays a key role in closing the gap between Vietnam and Japan, ensuring that both sides can collaborate efficiently and effectively.

Discussion overview

The discussion took place in an open and constructive atmosphere. Representatives from Uzbekistan and participating organizations expressed appreciation for B&Company’s presentation, noting that Vietnam’s experience provided useful reference points for Uzbekistan as it continues to promote its investment potential to Japanese businesses.

Through this exchange, B&Company was pleased to contribute its experience and knowledge to a meaningful dialogue on investment promotion and international business development.
