Challenges and Opportunities in an Emerging Market Tokyo, Japan May 21-24, 2000 Japan-America Society Business and Trade Delegation with the assistance of United Airlines Washington Software Alliance Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development Itinerary Participants 
e-commerce growth in Japan, which has lagged considerably behind that of the United States, is expected to explode over the next few years. Japan's Ministry of International Trade and Industry estimates that by the year 2003, e-commerce revenues will approach U.S. $600 billion a year. The potential payoff of entering and succeeding in this area is unquestioned. Those companies that best take advantage of this untapped pool will benefit for years to come. Both Japanese and foreign companies embarking on Internet commerce face challenging cultural and structural obstacles in the world’s second largest e-commerce market.
Our business and trade mission introduces participants to the developing e-commerce opportunities and the unique challenges, and what it takes to overcome them, in the Japanese market. Limited to 15 participants, our mission will venture to Tokyo for three intensive days of industry briefings, hands-on demonstrations, and networking receptions in May of 2000.
