Georgia and Japan: A Thriving Economic Partnership

Atlanta and Georgia are recognized as the center of Japanese industry in the Southeastern United States. Japanese-affiliated companies have invested over $11 billion in Georgia, with more than 600 Japanese-affiliated companies employing nearly 40,000 workers statewide. Furthermore, over 50 Georgia-based companies maintain major operations in Japan, emphasizing the mutual economic interdependence that fuels innovation, growth, and international collaboration.

Japan Day at the Georgia State Capitol offers a unique opportunity to strengthen these economic ties and enhance mutual understanding between the Japanese, American, and broader international communities in the Southeast.
