After a pandemic-related decline in 2021 and 2022, we once again experience a large number of inquiries from Japanese companies and will also see some branch openings of large companies\u2014such as Epson Deutschland GmbH\u2014at the location, over the course of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do you see the future of Japanese investment in D\u00fcsseldorf?

Moreover, as NRW has become the center of German activities related to the energy transition and circular economy, Japanese companies can introduce their innovative technologies and services in these areas from the state capital.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1.jpg\" class=\"td-modal-image\"><figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" src=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-42990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-696x464.jpg 696w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-1392x928.jpg 1392w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-1068x712.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-630x420.jpg 630w, https:\/\/sms-bridges.com\/staging\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/DE23-Duesseldorf-photo-1-1260x840.jpg 1260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption>The 2022 Duesseldorf Evening event in Tokyo is the largest international promotional event for the city. | \u00a9 Hans Sautter<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can you tell us about any upcoming investment projects or collaborations between German and Japanese companies in the City of D\u00fcsseldorf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annette Klerks:<\/strong> The biggest\u2014and most exciting\u2014collaboration between a German and a Japanese company initiated in D\u00fcsseldorf is Rakuten Symphony&#8217;s rollout of 1&amp;1 5G network, the first fully virtualized 5G network based on Open RAN technology outside of Japan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How has the pandemic influenced the investment strategies of Japanese companies in D\u00fcsseldorf?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Annette Klerks<\/strong>: Partly as a result of the home office option, which was introduced across the board during the pandemic, we are experiencing that companies already based at the site, in particular, are investing in new, modern spaces.
