SJCC-SCCIJ Webinar “Strategic Responses to Tariff Changes: Opportunities and Challenges for Swiss Companies Doing Business in Japan”

The Swiss-Japanese Chamber of Commerce (SJCC) and the Swiss Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (SCCIJ) invite you to the upcoming Joint Webinar on Tariff Dynamics, featuring Markus T. Schweizer, Board Member of the SJCC and Client Service Partner Japan Business Services at EY. This timely session will provide a unique opportunity to gain first-hand insights into how tariff changes are reshaping international trade and what this means for Swiss companies active in Japan.

Tariff shifts between the USA, Japan, Europe, and Switzerland are creating both new challenges and opportunities for Swiss firms. In his keynote “Strategic Responses to Tariff Changes: Opportunities and Challenges for Swiss Companies Doing Business in Japan,” the speaker will offer a clear and practical perspective on how executives can navigate this evolving landscape.

Participants will hear a factual overview of current tariffs, with special attention to the pharma sector and MFN pricing, followed by an analysis of potential threats and strategic opportunities for Swiss businesses in Japan. The discussion will highlight actionable strategies such as reducing dependency on single markets, strengthening ties with reliable and stable partners like Switzerland and Japan, and exploring production shifts for exports to the US.

The webinar concludes with an outlook on the next 6-12 months and an interactive Q&A, ensuring participants leave with strategic insights, practical tools, and a deeper understanding of how to position their companies in a complex global trade environment.
