The Israeli and Japanese economy ministers on Wednesday signed two agreements in Jerusalem that call for collaboration on both business and cyber security ventures in a bid to double the trade volume between the two countries.
In the first agreement, Economy Minister Eli Cohen and his Japanese counterpart, Hiroshige Seko, signed a joint statement that calls for increased cooperation among government bodies, economic organizations and companies across a wide range of sectors.
The second agreement calls for increased investments and joint activity in the cyber security sector, including a joint training program, collaborative workshops and the contribution of Israeli experts to Japan’s Center of Excellence in Cyber Security. "We need Israeli support in the cyber field ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, and we look forward to fruitful cooperation," Seko said.
The agreements are a continuation of similar partnerships launched in East Asia with China and South Korea, all of which have as their goal the strengthening of the Israeli economy, Cohen explained.
On November 30, 2017, Cybertech Global Events will hold the Cybertech Tokyo Conference. The conference and exhibition will be the first of its kind in the region. In addition to the conference, Cybertech Tokyo will host an extensive exhibition for presenting companies and a startup pavilion for both Israeli and regional innovators.
