Speakers and Themes
As speakers, CLIC aims to recruit representatives of the CLIC chambers operating a well-known company/brand to raise attractiveness of CLIC events for participants. The format involves a short presentation – usually 25-30 min., no power point - followed by a 10-15 min. Q&A session and the networking part.
The main objective is to provide participants with an insight in how to succeed on the Japanese market (success stories), strategies and key factors. What do you need to succeed in Japan and how is Japan different from other markets.
Naturally, the speaker also has the opportunity to present and promote his/her company’s products or services without turning the presentation into a sales pitch.
A creative theme for the evening is important to get participants talking and included so far: IKEA BUSINESS - we have all the screws!; COCA-COLA - Thirst for Innovation!; LEGO - Conquering Japan, Brick by Brick; Establishing a Swedish Premium Brand in Japan; Nespresso - Conquering Japan with the Ultimate Coffee Experience.
Participants
Participants come from among the members of each CLIC chamber. They represent a good cross-section of their membership with about 40% top management, 30% middle management and 30% others. Of the participants, on average 60% are Japanese, but in order to save time, the presentations are in English without interpretation, except in some cases for the Q&A.
