2020/2021 CLAIR Forum

2020/2021 CLAIR Forum

When: Tuesday, 9 March 2021

Venue: The Japan Foundation, Sydney, Seminar Room

On 9 March, CLAIR Sydney held the CLAIR Forum 2020/2021 at the Japan Foundation, Sydney, in collaboration with the Institute for Public Policy and Governance at the University of Technolgy Sydney (UTS:IPPG).

This year’s theme was ‘Local Government Policies on Industrial Promotion’.

Four CLAIR Sydney staff and two guest presenters each made a comprehensive presentation on local government policies and strategies that promote their respective local economies in Japan and Australia.

Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, although we had to limit the number of attendees and requested everyone to wear a mask throughout the event, the feedback we received from the day was positive. Some participants expressed that they truly enjoyed taking part in an in-person event for the first time in an extended period.

Thank you to all the attendees for attending the event and we would like to express our deepest gratitude to UTS:IPPG and our wonderful guest speakers for your kind contributions to this year’s CLAIR Forum.

The presentations on the day were as follows.

  1. The Modernisation of Industrial Policies in Post-war Japan – Mr Ryota Ichinose, Assistant Director, CLAIR Sydney
  2. Promotion of the Fruit Industry in Wakayama Prefecture – Mr Aika Fukuda, Assistant Director, CLAIR Sydney
