Europe Japan Industrial Relations 2015: Working together for a better future

This report has been put together, gathering a lot of data from various types of sources in order to draw attention to the ongoing cooperation between Japan and Europe. Not forgetting the decades of many trials and errors of working out how to work together better, efficiently and productively. The Part I of the report puts the focus on the extent of the current cooperation taking place mainly in Europe (and to a lesser extent in Japan), while the Interviews (Part II) also highlights the historical background of these companies and organisations. As a whole, it is extensively illustrated by concrete examples and success stories. We also point out the possibilities of further cooperation in the future. From a sectorial point of view, we focus mainly on the following key business domains: Transport Industries (such as Aerospace, Railways and Automotive) as well as Energy and ICT/Electronics Industries. We also introduce many other important European sectors. Philippe Huysveld and M. Motoko Huysveld
