Midwest U.S.-Japan Association

Founded in 1967, the Midwest U.S.-Japan Association (MWJA) is comprised of 11 member States including Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio and Wisconsin. Membership in the MWJA is supported by state governments that cooperate within the MWJA to increase understanding throughout the Midwest business community of Japan’s markets and resources, to showcase the Midwest as America's most dynamic business environment, and to develop knowledge in Japan of foreign direct investment opportunities in Midwest communities and the export potential of Midwest companies.
