1 Seminar Report 2011: « Oser le Japon? Le pari reste gagnant »
SSuummmmaarryy
On 10 June 2011, the EU-Japan Centre for Industrial Cooperation, AWEX and UCM co-organised a seminar entitled “Oser le Japon? Le pari reste gagnant” on EU-Japan trade relations in the post-tsunami era. The first half of the event consisted mainly of a series of presentations on services available to companies to help them in their relations with Japan. The second half heard case studies by companies that had received support for their Japanese activities. Following opening remarks by Céline GODART (EU-Japan Centre) who chaired the event, Frédéric LAHAUT (UCM) presented the services offered by UCM‟s International Unit. Thomas RONSE (AWEX) considered how Japanese people had responded to the triple disaster and explained that the Japanese emphasis on 我慢 (gaman – patience, endurance and self-control) and 頑張る (gambaru – working hard and staying focussed) explained their attitude. Although considerable progress has been made to restoring normality, Japan still needs to address its nuclear problem and reconstruction. Catherine COLLET (AWEX) announced various missions / trade fairs that AWEX will support in the coming year. In addition to providing basic information about Japan and an analysis of the effects of the triple disaster, Yuka MORITA (AWEX Tokyo) advised on „do‟s and don‟ts‟ that should be considered when doing business with Japan. Dominique TOURNEUR (AWEX) outlined the financial and other assistance that AWEX can give to companies to help them develop their projects with Japan. Simon CRAIG GRAY (EU-Japan Centre) gave a brief overview of the EU-Japan Centre‟s activities. Céline GODART then described the Centre‟s managerial programmes in detail and Margherita ROSADA presented the Centre‟s „Vulcanus in Europe‟ student placement programme. Roger ASSAKER (e-Xstream engineering) presented the first case study – his company offers DIGIMAT, a material and structure modelling platform used during the engineering of new materials. Although it does not yet feel ready to open an office in Japan, it has two distributers and a number of key clients there. Japan is a significant market. Monique LEMPEREUR (Nanocyl s.a.) gave the second case study – within a year of its creation, Nanocyl began its first partnership with Japan. It is now the leading producer of carbon nanotubes. Asia is its biggest market. Japanese demands for high quality and the Japanese preference for dealing with Japanese suppliers can make it a challenging but, rewarding, market. Hans PAUWELS (Debailleul Products s.a.) explained his company‟s strategy for Japan. It has been active there for a decade – with fixed and „pop-up‟ (temporary) stores. Concepts he considered important when dealing with/understanding Japan include: segmentation, creating hype, competitive markets, high business costs, unique decision-making methods, abstraction and perseverance. In his closing remarks, Daiuske SATO (Embassy of Japan to Belgium) passed on Japan‟s gratitude for the support, encouragement and solidarity it received from Europe following the events of 11 March. Japan must cooperate with other countries if it is to regain its dynamism. The Seminar (attended by c. 20 people) ended with a networking lunch and individual meetings between participants and representatives of AWEX. The majority of the speeches were given in French.

MMaajjoorr iissssuueess ddiissccuusssseedd Despite the recent triple tragedy in Japan, Japan is still “open for business”. Help is
available – particularly to SMEs – and there are examples of genuine “success stories”.
Céline Godart and Frédéric Lahaut – Accueil http://www.ucm.eu/
After welcoming participants to the meeting, Mr Lahaut outlined the services offered by
UCM‟s International Unit (it exists to support foreign companies‟ entry into Belgium and to
help Belgian companies that are interested in foreign markets with administrative steps).

Thomas Ronse – Le Japon après le 11 mars 2011
The triple tragedy that began on 11 March showed the dignity of the Japanese people.
Despite the devastation there were no riots, etc. (elsewhere natural disasters often lead on to
civil unrest). This might be explained by two Japanese concepts: 我慢 (gaman – patience,
endurance and self-control) and 頑張る (gambaru – working hard and staying focussed).
Japan‟s capacity to accept problems1 allowed it to become an economically dominant
country post-war and will ensure it remains focused even now. The sudden departure by
many foreigners was seen by many Japanese as arising from a lack of a sense of solidarity.
Japanese infrastructure (railways, factories) quickly resumed as normal a service as possible.
On-going problems remain: nuclear problems in Fukushima and the need for reconstruction.
The current attitude can be summarised as “business as much as possible, as usual”.
Mr Rouse doubted whether the triple tragedy would lead to an EU-Japan FTA – this was not
the first natural disaster to affect Japan and the previous ones did not change relations.
1 He cited Hirohito's pronouncement, “We have resolved to endure the unendurable and suffer what is insufferable”.

Catherine Collet – Forthcoming missions organised by the AWEX http://www.awex.be/
AWEX will organise a multi-sectoral mission to East Asia in October (to visit Taiwan,
Korea and Japan) – it will be open to companies of all sizes and active in all sectors. AWEX
will also organise pavilions at a nanotech trade fair, an automotive engineering trade fair and
at FOODEX and at JAIMA. A Prince will lead a Belgian delegation to Japan in June 2012.
Yuka Morita – Business with Japan : “Do‟s & Don‟ts”
http://www.awex.be/fr-BE/Contacts/Reseau_etranger_AEC/Pages/ResultatsContactsAECParPays.aspx?parame=JP
After a brief introduction with statistics on Japan, Ms Morita looked at the effects of the
triple tragedy – 2.5x more people died than after the 1995 Kobe Earthquake. As a result of
disruption to power supplies, the Japanese have begun economising on electricity – some
companies have even begun working at weekends (to avoid excessive energy demand at
peak times). The Kobe Earthquake reduced Japanese GDP by 2%. The triple tragedy is
likely to have an impact of between 2.5 and 4%. For about 3 weeks, business was disrupted
in Tokyo, but thereafter people wanted to get back to normal (feeling the best way of
helping people in Fukushima was to keep the economy buoyant). Unfortunately, foreign
media tended to seek sensationalist stories, and so have reported in such a way that it could
appear (incorrectly) that the whole Japanese economy stopped working. Potential new
business opportunities (for foreign firms) would be on energy-saving technologies / energy-
related products (e.g. PV and other environmental energy technologies) and on construction
materials. She concluded her presentation by a summary of things to bear in mind when
dealing with Japanese people (some were things to ensure that you do, whilst others were
things to avoid). Her main advice was to prepare thoroughly before any meeting, ensure that
you present information in a Japanese-friendly way, the more you help the decision-makers
understand your company the more successful you are likely to be.
Dominique Tourneur – Les soutiens financiers de l‟AWEX pour approcher le marché
japonais et y travailler http://www.awex.be/
Although the AWEX can support companies it cannot stand in for them. It is there to give a
„helping hand‟ throughout all stages in the process – from starting exports to establishing a
subsidiary company. Consultants acting with the financial support of the AWEX can
provide market survey services. Based on company size, whether or not it has been through
a particular programme and the programme in question, different cost structures apply –
ranging from free (for micro companies wishing to have an Expert in Export Strategy for 3
days, through coverage of 75% of costs for firms looking for 30 days of support).
Through the AWEX, companies can also get help to adapt their products, marketing
(through the “Design Specialist” programme), publicity material (through the “Business
Card” programme); or to identify potential leads or for linguistic translations. The help
offered can be help with costs, practical advice, and the placement of trainees to conduct
market surveys. The AWEX also supports companies taking part in trade fairs (either alone
or as part of an AWEX pavilion), on missions to „test the water‟ and assess possibilities in
the Japanese market and in negotiations. SOFINEX (www.sofinex.be) exists to provide
financial help (e.g. act as a bank loan guarantor) to encourage exports from Wallonia.
5 Seminar Report 2011: « Oser le Japon? Le pari reste gagnant »
Simon Craig Gray – Comment le EU-Japan Centre peut vous aider à vous développer au
Japon http://www.eu-japan.eu/
The 1980s had been a period of trade friction between the European Economic Community
and Japan. The EUJC was established to help overcome this by promoting industrial
cooperation between the two regions. It does this through increasing industrial
competitiveness via best practice exchanges, promoting inward FDI, strengthening the
presence of European firms in growth sectors in Japan and helping European managers
understand Japan better. The EUJC runs training programmes, organises an annual high-
level trade dialogue between industry and the Authorities, holds seminars and other events,
promotes Japanese involvement in EU RTD projects (under FP7) and is the Japan point for
the Enterprise Europe Network. (Local firms should access EEN via [email protected] or
www.wallonieeurope.be.)
Céline Godart – Programmes de support à l‟internationalisation organisés par le EU- Japan
Centre http://www.eu-japan.eu/global/business-training.html
The EUJC runs 4 to 6 training programmes a year aimed at helping companies gain
knowledge that will help them start or develop the existing links with Japan. Subsistence
grants are available to SMEs to help them with costs associated to their participation.
Margherita Rosada – Programme d‟échange « Vulcanus en Europe » (accueil de stagiaires
japonais par des entreprises européennes)
http://www.eu-japan.eu/global/host-a-trainee.html
Each year the EUJC places Japanese engineering students in Europe for a year and European
engineering students in Japan. The first four months of the placements are devoted to
language classes. This is followed by an 8-month work placement. Host companies see the
scheme as offering a boost to a project / working group, providing a useful insight into
Japanese culture and can help long-term plans of developing activities in Japan.
The students will be following final year undergraduate or post-graduate studies in technical
and technological disciplines. Thanks to the 4-month language course they will have a
reasonable grasp of the local language. Proof of success of the programme is the fact that
most years some students will be taken on by their host companies on a permanent basis and
by the fact that many host companies seek to host students every year.
Roger Assaker – Case study : success story au Japon http://www.e-xstream.com/
e-Xstream engineering develops and commercializes a material modelling platform called
DIGIMAT. From its creation (2003) it had a global outlook (it has seen 63% growth in its
business). The DIGIMAT computer modelling platform (http://www.e-
xstream.com/en/digimat/) is used by chemical industry (polymer suppliers), automotive,
electronics and rubber companies. Although Japan is an important market, it does not yet
feel ready to open an office there so has 2 distributers. Key Japanese clients include some of
the major automotive OEMs and electronic product producers. Between 2009 and 2010 its
turnover from Japan tripled, despite the triple tragedy he hoped it would double again
between 2010 and 2011. Japan now accounts for 13% of the company‟s turnover (up from
6 Seminar Report 2011: « Oser le Japon? Le pari reste gagnant »
10% in 2010). The Japanese market brings many advantages (knowledgeable customers who
understand the technology of their suppliers, are open to new technologies and are reliable)
but also difficulties (command of English, the existence of a 10% withholding tax on
profits).
Monique Lempereur – Case study : success story au Japon http://www.nanocyl.com/
Asia is the most important region for this university spinoff company created in 2002 and
which is the biggest EU producer of carbon nanotubes – they have various uses: enabling
plastics to conduct electricity (e.g. in anti-static applications), reinforcing aluminium
rendering it stronger than steel or conducting heat more efficiently than a diamond.
Asia is Nanocyl‟s biggest market. Since its first partnership with Japan (in 2003, on flat
screens), Nanocyl has been very active in Japan. As well having two distributors in Japan it
also has a sales office there (but without any juridical form). The importance the Japanese
attach to quality has benefits for Nanocyl‟s other clients. However, overcoming the Japanese
preference to „buy Japanese‟ (even when the product in question is inferior or more
expensive), is a challenge. But their willingness to pay for value means they will pay to
receive the best quality and high service standards. Nanocyl received support from AWEX.
Hans Pauwels – Case study : success story au Japon http://www.debailleul.com/
Debailleul produces luxury cakes, ice-creams and chocolates. In addition to having its own
retail outlets it is also present in luxury outlets and supplies caterers for big events (such as
Royal Ascot). 65% of its turnover comes from exports (particularly to China and India). It
has been active in Japan for about 10 years and has 5 permanent outlets and up to 60 „pop-
up‟ (temporary) stores open for 2-3 weeks (e.g. around Valentine‟s Day). Mr Pauwels
emphasised the importance of providing a quality product and of working the market to
seduce the consumer. In 2011/12, his company will launch 24 new products/packaging.
Key words to consider when working with Japan include: segmentation (the Japanese
market is the world‟s most segmented) hype creation, competitive markets, high business
costs, complex decision-making, abstraction, efficiency and perseverance. The decision to
begin exporting to Japan, or working with the Japanese should not be rushed. Only make it
if you are committed to the long-term.
During his last visit to Japan three weeks earlier, he noted that although officially there is
„business as usual‟ in Japan, in practice there is the perception of an electricity supply
problem – 1:3 metros are not running and escalators are stopped. Tokyo is less dynamic than
it has been (people eat out less frequently), but that will change – strong growth is predicted
for next year.
Daiuske Sato – Closing Remarks http://www.be.emb-japan.go.jp/
The Japanese people and their Government appreciate the support and signs of solidarity
they have received following the triple tragedy. Although Japan is still suffering,
reconstruction has begun and the problems will be overcome. If Japan is to be dynamist, it
must cooperate with other countries. Mr Sato hoped that the seminar would encourage its
participants to work with Japan.

Il a été amené à travailler sur plusieurs projets destinés à améliorer lesprocédés de production en termes de qualité et de coût dans la micro lithographieprocédés de production, en termes de qualité et de coût, dans la micro lithographie.Sans aucun doute, nous nous porterons une nouvelle fois candidats pour accueillir un étudiant japonais. Nous vousencourageons à faire de même pour autant que vous ayez un projet clairement défini.
M Martin TschinklAMTC Advanced Mask Technology Center (Allemagne)Société d’accueil depuis 2007
C’était pour nous la première occasion de participer au programme Vulcanus. Cette expérience a dépassé toutes nos attentes :notre stagiaire s’est avéré à la fois très doué et très sociable, rapidement assimilé à son équipe. Sa contribution audéveloppement du projet technologique auquel il était affecté a été concluante Nous avons donc décidé de candidater àdéveloppement du projet technologique auquel il était affecté a été concluante. Nous avons donc décidé de candidater ànouveau pour la prochaine session de Vulcanus.

• Carbon is a chemical element that exists in different physical forms (allotropes), each with its specific properties. Thebest known examples of carbon allotropes are diamonds (known for their hardness and light dispersion) and graphite.
Carbon nanotubes are a physical form of carbon with superior properties
What are Carbon Nanotubes (CNT’s) ?
• Carbon nanotube (CNT) is another physical form of carbon, that combines the above extraordinary properties andshows amongst others superior strength, superior electrical and thermal conductivity.
• Carbon nanotubes are cylindrical carbonmolecules. Their name is derived from theirdiameter size, which is on the order of a fewnanometers (approximately 10,000 times smallerthan the width of a human hair) while they can be
Structure
• To the human eye, carbon nanotubes appear as ablack powder.
• These carbon nanotubes are used as additive intovarious matrices such as polymers (plastics), epoxy

Carbon nanotubes exhibit unique properties on 4 major levels and many more:
Electrical Conductivity
CNT Specific Properties
yThe electrical conductivity of CNTs is much higher than copper, allowing non-conductive plastics to be turnedinto conductive materials.
Mechanical StrengthThanks to their high elasticity and excellent tensile strength, carbon nanotubes exhibit a mechanical strengthwhich is 5 times higher than steel – at only a quarter of the specific weight.
Thermal ConductivityCNTs beat the thermal conductivity of the best natural thermal conductor of all – diamonds.

5
Flame RetardancyCarbon nanotubes have the ability to promote flame retardancy at very low filling levels thanks to the formationof a thermal insulating and low permeable char.

The Asian Pacific Region is today the largest consumer of Carbon Nanotubes
Nanocyl in Japan
50 % of the sales revenue of Nanocyl come from our sales to the Asia Pacific region
Nanocyl has an office in Japan with two Japanese representatives
The first cooperation agreement that Nanocyl has had with an p g yindustrial firm was with a Japanese company
Nanocyl is today selling its carbon nanotubes in Japan in all its key market segments : electronic packaging, automotive, elastomers and sporting goods
13
Challenges: The Japanese customers are the most demanding ones in term of quality and services
The Japanese customers do prefer Japanese suppliers even if they are more expensive or offering less performing products
Nanocyl in Japan
performing products
Opportunities: The Japanese market is an opportunity if you can offer the best quality and a high level of service, which is
the case of Nanocyl
If the technology is validated by Japanese customers, this means that you can sell everywhere in the world
Japanese customers are willing to pay for value and service
The BJA association, thanks to its Yes Program is helping Nanocyl young managers to get introduced to the Japanese industry and to learn how to be successful with Japanese customers
The AWEX is supporting Nanocyl for its participation at “Nanotech Japan”, the best exhibition on nanotechnology
