Meet our Board
The Ireland Japan Chamber of Commerce works together with the Embassy of Ireland in Japan, Bord Bia, Enterprise Ireland, and IDA Ireland as a part of Team Ireland's Local Market Team to grow business relations between Japan and Ireland.
As a non-profit organisation, our leadership and board of directors are deeply passionate about the Ireland-Japan business community and volunteer their time to support the Chambers’ operations.
Our Chamber Patron is the Ambassador of Ireland to Japan and we have representatives from Team Ireland organisations as Ex-Officio members of the Board of Directors.
