Following the easing of COVID-19 border restrictions in the country, Asia is once again welcoming international business visitors.
With a rise in the sector, Invest Northern Ireland is taking another look at the materials handling sector in North East Asia (Japan, Korea and Taiwan) after our webinar in 2021 to provide an insight into new developments within the sector in the region.
To capitalise on the increase in demand and rising awareness of the governments’ push towards recycling and better use of building materials and forest resources, Invest NI invites you to a complimentary webinar to provide insight into the region's latest market developments, trends, and opportunities.
Invest NI will also introduce the audience to the N-Expo (The New Environmental Exposition 2023) in May 2023, Japan's largest material handling trade show.
The webinar will conclude with a short Q&A.

Our Organising the Workplace for Improved Workflows workshop on Thursday 20 April, 10:00-13:00 at Invest NI (North West Office) will inform attendees how to organise their workplaces better so that work moves easier through the business using the 6S lean stabilisation tool.
Using this tool, attendees will learn how to apply Sort, Set, Shine, Safety, Standardise, and Sustain to their workplace to maximise space organisation.
This is especially beneficial to companies who struggle to meet customer shipment commitments.
