The Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ), in partnership with key Chamber members, Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer and the Australia-Japan Research Centre (AJRC), is pleased to extend an exclusive invitation to our Platinum and Gold Members for a private dinner briefing on the 9th Annual Japan–Australia Investment Report.
Produced by Herbert Smith Freehills Kramer in collaboration with the AJRC at the Australian National University, the Japan-Australia Investment Report is widely regarded as the benchmark publication analysing cross-border investment flows between the two countries. The report tracks Japanese mergers, acquisitions, joint ventures and strategic partnerships in Australia, providing detailed insights into deal volumes, sector trends and the evolving commercial relationship between Japan and Australia, as well as the strategic forces underpinning Japanese investment, including energy and resources security, renewable energy and decarbonisation initiatives, real estate and infrastructure investment, and emerging sectors such as technology and critical minerals.
We are delighted to welcome co-authors of the report, Damien Roberts and Professor Shiro Armstrong, who will present the key findings from the 9th edition. The briefing will draw on an in-depth analysis of Japan-Australia M&A transactions and partnerships throughout 2025, highlighting the major deal trends that shaped the year and the key drivers expected to influence the trajectory of the bilateral investment relationship in 2026 and beyond. The report is widely used by investors, corporations, policymakers and advisors as a reference point for understanding where Japanese capital is flowing and where the next Australia–Japan investment opportunities lie.
This event is proudly supported by Business Events Perth.

Japan Australia Investment Report 2023 – Partners in Prosperity: Latest trends in Japan-Australia M&A
ANZCCJ invites members and guests to an exclusive launch of Herbert Smith Freehills’ latest report Japan-Australia Investment Report 2023: Partners in Prosperity.
Japanese cross-border M&A into Australia was very strong in 2023 with over 50 M&A deals and 38 new partnerships in 2023. Australia is regarded as an attractive non-US destination as it is a stable market and encouraging of Japanese investment. Active sectors included energy, innovation, real estate and decarbonisation.
There were several major energy-related transactions, major B2C acquisitions (Kirin, 7-Eleven and Kao) which highlight attractiveness of the Australian domestic consumer market and the continuation of acquisitions of technology / BioTech companies by Fujifilm, Otsuka Pharmaceutical, Nissui, Fujitsu, Angel Group, Komatsu, Hitachi, MUFG and Softbank Robotics. Some of the most notable M&A transactions involving Japanese companies in 2023 included:
- Kirin’s $1.9 billion takeover of ASX-Listed Blackmores, a vitamins and supplements producer.
- Seven-I Holdings’ (7-Eleven Japan) $1.71 billion acquisition (together with the US arm of 7-Eleven) of 7-Eleven Australia, which operates 750 convenience stores.
- Mitsubishi Corporation and BHP’s US$3.2 billion sale of the Daunia and Blackwater metallurgical coal mines in Queensland to Whitehaven Coal.
- Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Bank’s $1.2 billion takeover of ASX-listed Link Group, a superannuation and share registry administrator.
- LNG Japan’s US$880 million acquisition from Woodside Energy of a 10% interest in the Scarborough LNG Project.
Joined by speakers from Austrade and JETRO, our M&A experts will analyse the background to the strengthening of, as well as the opportunities and implications for the growth of, Japanese investment in Australia. You will hear from M&A specialists from Australia and Japan who are active in advising Japanese corporates in cross-border transactions.
Speakers:
- Sally Townsend (Chair, Australian and New Zealand Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ANZCCJ))
- Elizabeth Cox (General Manager (North East Asia), Australian Trade and Investment Commission (Austrade) and Minister (Commercial) at the Australian Embassy Japan)
- Taku Miyazaki (Director, Investment and Alliance Division, Innovation Department, Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO))

- セブン&アイ・ホールディングス：オーストラリアで750店ものコンビニエンスストアを運営する7-Eleven Australia社を（米セブン-イレブンと共に）17.1億豪ドル（約1700億円）で取得。
- 三菱商事：BHP三菱アライアンス（BMA）社を通じてQLD州で操業するDaunia炭鉱及びBlackwater炭鉱を豪Whitehaven Coal社に32億米ドル（約4,760億円）にて売却。
- 三菱UFJ信託銀行：豪年金管理大手でありASX上場企業のLink Administration Holdings Limited社の株式を11億豪ドル（約1050億円）にて取得。

Against the backdrop of Net Zero targets and increasing calls for meaningful action on climate change, the global market for hydrogen and related chemical products continues to develop at pace. Given the significant commercial headwinds faced by the industry, including supply chain constraints and higher interest rates, policy-makers are stepping up to provide support across the value chain, including for production projects, transportation, and development of the downstream market.

In the wake of the 1 January Noto Peninsula earthquake, our hearts go out to all those affected by this tragic event. Our deepest sympathies to the communities grappling with the aftermath.
To assist those going through challenging times and contribute to the rebuilding of the affected areas so we have decided to hold a charity raffle and auction at our Shinnenkai.
Proceeds from this initiative will go to the Japanese Red Cross Society, whose relief teams have been working around the clock to save lives and protect the health and dignity of the affected people in Noto Peninsula.
We have already secured some fantastic prizes from our very generous members but if you would like to donate a prize for our event, please contact ANZCCJ Executive Director, Craig Usmar at craig.usmar@anzccj.jp

- Being a senior representative for the ANZCCJ, attending ANZCCJ meetings and events.
- Actively participating in or chairing one or more ANZCCJ committees or working groups that deal with specific issues or initiatives, acting as a liaison between the Executive Council and that Committee/working group. This initiative will draw from the EC members’ strengths and skills, align with their current profession or interests, and provide further learning and development opportunities.
- Acting as MC or moderator at events, particularly those related to the Committee with which the council member is affiliated.
- Overseeing the Secretariat’s management of the ANZCCJ’s operations.
