With the rise of China, the might of Japanese manufacturing has seemed to be eclipsed. But is it really? In the December CEO meeting we will have the opportunity to hear right from the experience of Umicore and our own Luc Gellens. Luc will share some of the strategic drivers of the Belgian industrial firm he works for to explain its industrial policy in Japan. His testimony may raise some questions and likely will lead to an interesting exchange.

– Does it make sense to set up a factory in Japan? What are the opportunities?
– Is industry in Japan at risk? Can it compete against China and … Korea?
– What is the strength of the Japanese system? What are the weaknesses?
