About Our Programs & Events
The Dallas Morning News called DFW “a beacon for companies from Japan and beyond, and for good reason”
There are over 400 Japanese companies in the state of Texas and over 270 companies are operating in North Texas region, and the number continues to grow.
The Japan-America Society offers insight into this rapidly changing landscape, as well as opportunities to connect with senior executives engaged in Texas-Japan business. In addition to these annual programs, we host unique business and networking events through the year.
