Don’t miss them!! \n\nJoining Forces on International Women’s Day 2023 to #EmbraceEquity\n  \nBLCCJ is proud to be marking International Women’s Day 2023 with this #EmbraceEquity event\, hosted in collaboration with the British (BCCJ)\, French (CCIFJ) and Spanish (SpCCJ) Chambers of Commerce in Japan.  \n  \nInternational Women’s Day (IWD) – celebrated annually on March 8 – is a global initiative that celebrates the social\, economic\, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity in\, among other places\, the public and private sectors. \n  \nThis year’s global theme is #EmbraceEquity. Equity might look different for every organisation\, depending on size and resources\, which is why this year we are teaming up with three other foreign chambers of commerce in Japan to hear from cross-industry leaders of very different backgrounds\, on what it truly means to embrace equity within their organisations\, and what processes they have in place to create the mindsets and practices needed to create an equitable workplace environment. \n  \nAs panelists we are pleased to invite Anne-Lin Rey\, Sales Project Director / Head of Osaka Expo 2025\, GL Events; Hiroko Suzuki\, President & CEO\, Kyowa Industrial Co; Junko Kubokawa\, CEO\, Croda Japan (and BCCJ DEI taskforce head); Natalia Sanz Laviña\, CEO\, YSLA Architects (10 years working with Kengo Kuma); and Tomoyo Hiraoka\, VP\, Chief HR Officer\, Mitsubishi Chemical Group. Moderator will be Regis Arnaud\, journalist and Editor in chief\, France Japon Eco. They will share their insights on the topic\, acknowledging the work already being done in organisations and communities to respond to workplace inequities\, and addressing what the key roles are for individuals\, corporates and governments in pushing the agenda forward and taking the strides needed to truly advance gender equity in the future. \n  \nEveryone is welcome!\nCan men attend this event? YES! Now\, more than ever\, there’s a groundswell to normalise gender parity. It is incumbent upon us all to make sure that\, working in tandem with member firms\, we lead the charge towards a more inclusive workplace that will benefit men and women alike. \n  \nEVENT DETAILS: \nDate: Wednesday 8 March 2023\nTime: 19:00-21:00 (doors open at 18:30)\n1 hour panel\, 1 hour networking\nVenue: L’espace @ CCIFJ\nNihonbashi Honcho Ys Bldg. 1F\, 2-2-2 Nihonbashi Honcho\, Chuo-ku\, Tokyo 103-0023\nFee: JPY 5\,000 members / JPY 7\,000 non-members\n(this includes drinks and finger food) \nSeats for BLCCJ are limited to 25\, first come first serve.\nTo register\, please send the full name\, company name and title of all your attendees to info@blccj.or.jp and we will send a confirmation email.\nDeadline for registration is Friday 3 March 5:00pm or when seats are full. \nWe kindly ask you to arrange payment by 3 March 5:00pm by bank transfer.

SUMMARY:POSTPONED to early 2023 : The EU Digital Services Package: An interdisciplinary Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The German Chamber AHK Japan would like to invite you to a webinar on the EU Digital Services Package with practical advice on the complex legal and IT challenges of the digital market. \nAtsumi Sakai Janssen and ENDEAVOR SBC will decipher what this digital legislation and regulation for the single market of EU (comprising of 27 countries with a population of ca. 450 million) means and how it is meant to prepare the EU for the challenges of the rapidly unfolding digital industries. \nThis is insightful not only with regards to the large digital players and platform providers (gatekeepers)\, but specifically also to all providers of any digital services with substantial connection to the EU. \n  \nAbout the event \nWith the new landmark legislation of the EU Digital Services Package\, EU has entered the next large phase of digital legislation. It intends to actively regulate the ways of doing digital business to increase and support competition and regulates the digital markets with obligations for large players and rights for smaller players and users\, while the GDPR (as well as the APPI\, the Japanese Act on Protection of Personal Information) only protects the rights of the individual to its data with defensive regulation. \nWhile it directly regulates services provided to the EU digital market only\, Japanese companies with contact to the EU should carefully review the new obligations and\, in extension\, proactively evaluate business opportunities based on the newly established rights. Likewise\, EU enterprises operating in Japan should use the opportunity to guide Japanese partners and monitor Japanese competitors as well. \nAt the end of the presentations\, the speakers will offer concise steps for Japanese and for EU Enterprises to prepare themselves for this new legislation and the digital markets formed by them\, which comprise the huge single market of EU. \n  \nSpeakers \nAtsumi Sakai Janssen (ASJ):\nInga Zillmer\, Senior Of-Counsel at ASJ; Ulrich Hildenbrand\, Senior Of-Counsel at ASJ; Markus Janssen\, Founder and managing partner of ASJ\nEndeavor SBC – CEO:\nWolfgang Bierer\, Founder and CEO of Endeavor SBC \n  \nEvent Details \nDate: Wednesday 7 December 2022\nTime: 16:00 – 17:30 JST | 08:00 – 09:30 JST\nZoom Webinar\nFree of Charge\nMembers only \nIf you are interested\, please send an email to info@blccj.or.jp before Monday 5 December 17:00 JST\, and we will confirm your registration.\nIf your registration is accepted\, you will receive the Zoom invitation link and passcode on the day itself. \n  \nWe hope that many BLCCJ members will join this webinar workshop!
