Japan and Israel’s compatibility is a match made in business heaven
Mitsubishi Corporation has marked Israel as an innovation hub and expanded its liaison office in Tel Aviv. The company is actively seeking local technologies for investment and partnership. Takashi Kai, the Head of the Tel Aviv liaison office, believes that Israeli and Japanese business models could complement each other well. Mitsubishi Corporation has already made several investments in Israeli startups, particularly in the automotive tech and agri-tech industries. Kai also sees potential for collaboration between Japan, Israel, and Iran, as he witnessed little hostility toward Israel from younger generations in Iran. He believes that Japan can play a role in fostering good relationships between the three countries.
