[2020-10-14] Japan Meets Brabant – Virtual Visit Fujifilm


On Wednesday 14 October, the Japan Meets Brabant – Virtual Visit to Fujifilm took place. What was originally meant to be an actual visit, was turned creatively into an online event that members in both the Netherlands and Japan could enjoy.

This event is for invitees only. If your company is member of Dujat, please contact our office

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, this will be an online event that takes you on a virtual visit to the European headquarters of FUJIFILM Manufacturing Europe B.V. in Tilburg.

Broadcasted from the Open Innovation Hub Europe you will be taken on a journey through the transition that Fujifilm made over the past 25 years. From becoming market leader in photographic film, venturing into new business areas via diversification, to the latest developments in the field of healthcare and lifesciences.
