JULY 2018 JMEC
Plan for Success Business competition recognizes budding talent
By Alec Jordan
Each year, participants in the Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC) put hundreds of hours into crafting their business plans, vying for the coveted top spot in the “mini MBA program” that has propelled many aspiring and existing leaders, and entrepreneurs to business success. On June 6, at a gala event at Tokyo American Club, the winners of the 24th annual competition were announced.
Supported by 18 foreign chambers of commerce in Japan, JMEC was started by the Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan in 1993. This year, 61 participants from around the world attended a series of lectures and then prepared business plans to help products and services enter the Japanese market.
