JNine IT Participated JETRO IT Fair 2005 (J-OFIS 2005)
 


The Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) is a government-related organization that works to promote mutual trade and investment between Japan and the rest of the world. Originally established in 1958 to promote Japanese exports abroad, JETRO's core focus in the 21st century has shifted towards promoting foreign direct investment into Japan and helping small to medium size Japanese firms maximize their global export potential. JETRO Outsourcing Fair for IT Software 2005 (J-OFIS 2005) was one of the principal events in the calendar of JETRO.

JNine IT, the only Sri Lankan software company in Japan, was one of the participants of the J-OFIS 2005, which was held on the 25th – 27th January 2005 at the JETRO Exhibition Hall in Akasaka, Tokyo. During exhibition time, services and products of JNine IT were opened for Japanese software companies and the exhibition halls were covered with 53 IT booths from 12 different countries.

Graphics and Web Designs, Business Applications (Standalone/Client Server) and Web (e-Commerce) Applications were displayed and discussed with the representatives of the Japanese software companies at the stall in order to interact with IT industry in Japan.

A tremendous support and encouragement for this event was given by the Embassy of Sri Lanka in Tokyo under the assistance of His Excellency the Ambassador to Japan, Mr. Karunathilake Amunugama.

Following are some of the captured moments from the J-OFIS 2005.
