"Study Tour to Japan 2009" from University of Zurich pays visit to Gaipro

Dr. Hermann Escher, Lecturer at the University of Zurich, visited Gaipro on June 10, 2009 with a group of over 20 university students. One of the objectives of the "Study Tour to Japan" organized from June 7-22, is to get a firsthand look at Japan from a social, political, geographical and business perspective.

Gaipro felt very fortunate to be included in the itinerary covering different institutions such as the Swiss Embassy as well as Swiss and Japanese companies of various sizes. Some of the topics discussed at Gaipro included:

1. Why set up your own company in Japan?
2. Difficulties and hurdles in the start up phase in Japan?
3. Japanese business etiquette

The question and answer session was lively and the role-play in Japanese business etiquette added an entertaining touch to the visit. We wish the Study Tour to Japan a safe journey and hope their mission will turn out to be a big success.
