We aim to make the most of the once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity presented by the Expo by creating PR opportunities both inside and outside the venue and showcasing the capabilities of Osaka’s SMEs and startups to the world. At MOBIO (Manufacturing Business Center Osaka), we provide exhibition and matching platforms to promote Osaka manufacturers’ excellent technologies and products, and by leveraging our domestic and international networks we have built, we intend to use the Expo as a springboard for introducing Osaka’s technical strength and attractive products to audiences at home and abroad.
