The EU-Japan Regional and Cluster Cooperation Helpdesk is a regional cooperation platform mobilizing European regions and clusters, Japanese Prefectures and clusters, that fully exploits the EU-Japan Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA) and the EU-Japan Partnership on Sustainable Connectivity, signed by Prime Minister Abe and President Juncker in Brussels on 27 September 2019.
The EJR2C Helpdesk promotes cooperation in terms of industry, trade, investment, innovation, tourism, and people mobility. Such cooperation is bilateral between European and Japanese stakeholders, but it may also include EU +Japan jointly operating vis-à-vis third countries, e.g. in Africa, South East Asia, EU neighbourhood countries, Latin America.
