The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is a government-related organization that promotes mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. Established in 1958, JETRO's core focus has evolved to include promoting foreign direct investment into Japan and assisting small to medium-sized Japanese firms in maximizing their global export potential. With a robust network of domestic and overseas offices, JETRO provides up-to-date business information, supports international business development, and contributes to improving business environments and trade policies.
