Nishinippon Business Forum

“Nishinippon Business Forum” (NBF, 西日本国際ビジネスフォーラム) is a self-supporting, nonpolitical think tank based in Japan.

Since 2013, the organization members, including representatives of various countries, firms, press and societies, meets in Fukuoka every year.

Goals

The Forum aims to encourage dialogues among country members, to strengthen trade, institutional and cultural relations and, as well, to closely watch the Asian geopolitical scenario, in order to encourage relations between high-level decision makers.

Meetings take place every year, as a gathering place of opinions about topics of general interests, especially regarding the c.d. “Nishinippon’’ Area (South-West side of Japan) and its role on regional trades and politics.

Genesis and structure

The Nishinippon Business Forum was founded by Daniele Di Santo, currently president of the Japan Italy Economic Federation.

As well as the usual conference about ‘’Perspectives and scenarios for new international synergies: the role of Nishinippon on the global economic field’’ that takes place every year, some activities of the forum cover firm-related tasks, institutional meetings and publishing of documents and report regarding the annual topics.

Media partnership

AGI – (Italian Journalist Agency) is the official media partner of the Forum.

Location

Since South-western Japan acquired a dominant role on regional dynamics, due to its strategic position in the East-Asian Area, Fukuoka grants a matchless lookout on perspectives and scenarios that come from new international synergies.
