About The Event

The Norwegian Chamber of Commerce in Japan, together with DCCJ, SCCJ, ISCCJ and FCCJ, invites students and young professionals to an inspiring evening of career-focused conversation and networking at Temple University Japan Campus.

The event will bring together representatives from Novo Nordisk Japan, IKEA Japan and Takanawa Travel to share practical insights into building an international career, developing leadership skills and succeeding in multicultural workplaces.

As workplaces continue to evolve, employers across industries are looking for people who can collaborate across borders, adapt to new environments and build relationships across cultures. Nordic companies in Japan are known for fostering inclusive workplace cultures, innovation and employee development, placing them in a strong position to offer valuable perspectives on the skills employers seek today.

Whether you are a student considering your first career move or a young professional looking to advance within an international organization, this event offers an opportunity to learn more about career development, workplace culture, leadership and navigating both Nordic and Japanese business environments.

The panel discussion will be followed by a Q&A session and a relaxed networking reception. Participants will have the opportunity to connect directly with the speakers, representatives of the Nordic chambers, and fellow students and young professionals over light refreshments.
