New opportunities for innovative businesses are opening as Japan continues its dramatic economic restructuring. The last several years have seen a surge in foreign investment as companies from around the globe (including Hong Kong) successfully tap into the world's third largest economy and one of the world's richest consumer markets. At the same time, more and more Japanese companies are moving their manufacturing operations to the mainland of China or sourcing products from the mainland via Hong Kong.

Graduates of this programme, with their knowledge of business, Japanese, English (and often Putonghua), are in a particularly good position to launch careers related to these new trends. Recent graduates have joined Japanese companies in Hong Kong or companies and organizations dealing with Japan. Other graduates have capitalized on their solid business training to pursue careers not directly connected with Japan.
