Come join CECI and JETRO for a free breakfast briefing on Thursday, February 14, 2002 at 9:15 AM at the JETRO Chicago office! (401 N. Michigan Ave. Suite 660)

We will follow the path of AlienWorksLTD. from the CECI presentation to JETRO staff on February 14, 2001 to today.  Hear how a simple question to the JETRO Inquiry Department has led to their participation in two of JETRO's programs with great success.

Mr. Paul Dittmann, CEO of  Alien Works Ltd. will give a full report on Alien Works Ltd.'s experience at the JETRO Techno Business Forum, and Invest in Japan Individual Program (IJIP). These programs have allowed Alien Works an opportunity to investigate their potential in the Japanese market through business meetings arranged by JETRO.

We are also happy to have Ms. Joanne Gucwa, JETRO's Senior Investment Advisor speaking in detail about the support available to those interested in investing in different regions in Japan.

This briefing is an excellent way to learn more about two of JETRO's programs, and to find out how JETRO can help you succeed in Japan.

From the desktop of Tarkus Michael Murphy:

Thanks to everyone who helped make the January presentation a success!

I would be happy to introduce Wayne Staney, the President of Alien Works LTD, a year to the day after his first impromptu "Bonus" presentation to CECI.  However, Wayne may still be suffering from jet lag.  In Wayne's stead, Paul Dittmann will outline the recent travels of Alien Works to Osaka, Gifu, and Tokyo. 

AlienWorksLTD. participated in Techno Business Forum 2002 in Gifu and Tokyo, Japan (January 25th through February 1), and in the Invest in Japan Individual Program (IJIP) (February 4 through February 9). Alien Works also returned to the City of Osaka in January as a follow up to the Global Business Opportunity Conference with other Chicago companies in October 2001.

Ms. Joanne Gucwa, Sr. Investment Advisor, JETRO Chicago has helped several Chicago companies find business in Japan DESPITE the slow economies in both the U.S. and Japan.  She also helped CECI find a home at De Paul University for the last few years and has taken CECI participants half way around the world in order to find the right markets for their products or services.
