Japan - Osaka Virtual Global Innovation Forum 2024
The Hull and Humber Chamber of Commerce is working with Thames Valley Chamber to offer our innovative business Members the opportunity to apply to participate in the Osaka Virtual Global Innovation Forum 2024.
As part of their Japan specialism and Osaka 2025 programme, Thames Valley Chamber have been appointed national co-ordinators for the recruitment of UK entrepreneurial businesses for Osaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (OCCI) virtual Global Innovation Forum (GIF) 2024.
This is the 6th year this forum has run, and previous years have seen several UK start-up/innovative businesses being selected to participate, with great success, finding partners and investment for their products.
This year OCCI is seeking 5/6 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
The forum activities will provide successful applicants with access to a wide innovation network in Osaka, profiling to over 30000 OCCI members as well as over 700 GIF community members who are actively seeking collaborating or offering investment.
With participation free to participants, from the end of May 2024, the successful businesses will be showcased in the GIF Virtual Exhibition, with July seeing participants taking park in a virtual pitch to potential Japanese partners, with complimentary interpretation support provided by OCCI. Following the live pitch OCCI and TVCC will be there to provide 1-2-1 support to the businesses to ensure they maximise the opportunities which arise.
The deadline for applicants is 17th May 2024.
This opportunity in the UK is only open to businesses via the UK Chamber Network.
