Why North America?

With a $33.23 trillion economy, the North American economy is 70% larger than the EU and nearly twice the size of China. It offers exceptional opportunities for Japanese businesses:

• United States: The top destination for FDI, offering a stable business climate, low energy costs, and a highly skilled workforce.
• Mexico: A global nearshoring hub, attracting $40+ billion in annual FDI, particularly in automotive and aerospace manufacturing.
• Canada: A resource- and talent-rich economy with strong industry linkages and an average of $55+ billion in FDI per year.

While the economic attractiveness of North America is undeniable, so is the uncertainty that is impacting the trade and investment relationships among these three economies. Making an informed decision about where to invest in North America is more challenging than ever and requires considered, systematic and objective analysis.

• Understanding FDI Trends & Policies – How U.S., Canada, and Mexico’s new policy direction will impact investment decisions.
• Defining Location Strategy & Site Selection – What factors determine an ideal investment site in North America and elsewhere?

• Expert Insights – Decades of experience from professionals advising Japanese and global MNEs on their location and trade decisions.
