A delegation of NHK journalists, from Japan’s national public broadcasting organization, visited Lviv to learn more about the work of Japan Desk Lviv — the first municipal service in Ukraine supporting Japanese businesses. Japan Desk Lviv was established in July 2025 within the Investment and Projects Office of the Lviv City Council (Invest in Lviv). Its main goal is to promote the development of Japanese-Ukrainian business cooperation.

During the meeting, the first results of the service were presented, along with key partnerships and initiatives. Discussion topics included support for Japanese companies in Lviv, investment attraction, development of innovative projects, educational programs, and cultural exchanges.

NHK journalists had the opportunity to see how the service operates in practice and to learn about successful collaborations between Japanese and Ukrainian companies. The visit provided a platform to demonstrate to an international audience that Lviv is open to innovation, ready for partnerships, and a reliable city for investment.

“Such a media visit serves as a tool to promote Lviv as a city that supports international business, stimulates entrepreneurial development, and strengthens bilateral ties between Ukraine and Japan,” said Nazar Bilyk, Project Coordinator of Japan Desk Lviv.
