Chubu - Independent Business

Ray
Proper Chair

Tom
Nakamura Vice-Chair

This committee provides a venue for entrepreneurs and independent business owners in Chubu to strike up dialogue with other small to medium sized business operators. Guests are invited to monthly gatherings to share their experiences and advice with members. The very relaxed nature of this committee stimulates much interaction between speakers and the audience, which maximizes the learning experience for all. This committee is a great place to learn about the differences in foreign and Japanese business, and enables you to get advice from the best of both worlds- the good parts of Japanese business and the good parts of western business.

Activities include member presentations about their business and guest presentations by successful entrepreneurs in various fields.
