Are you an innovative business or start-up looking to tap into the Japanese market?
There is limited availability for businesses to get involved with the next Global Innovation Forum, or GIF, which could act as your gateway to Osaka’s thriving business ecosystem.
This programme has been hosted by the Osaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (OCCI) and Osaka Business & Investment Centre (O-BIC) since 2019 – with a number of huge successes during the last five years.
Osaka is a large Japanese port city and commercial centre which hosts a network of over 30,000 OCCI members as well as over 700 GIF community members, who are all actively seeking collaboration or investment opportunities.
This year OCCI, and UK coordinator Thames Valley Chamber of Commerce, are seeking five or six UK startup/innovative businesses in the following sectors:
- Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality,
- Robotics
- Agri Tech / Food Tech
- Health Tech
- Green Technology, Carbon Neutrality, New Energy
- Digital Transformation
- New Materials
This opportunity in the UK is only open to businesses via the UK Chamber Network and provides an opportunity to again demonstrate UK Chambers involvement in promotion of global trade and investment across the world.
Interested businesses should submit an application no later than 17 May 2024, with successful applicants notified no alter than 24 May 2024. Businesses will then be introduced to a virtual network of Osaka companies before making an online live pitch on 10 July 2024.
Interested businesses should email exportmailbox@staffordshirechambers.co.uk
