ABOUT

In order for Japan to grow economically further and become a true leader in globalization, it will be important to grow beyond Tokyo-centrism and for regional companies in Japan to exert worldwide impact. To showcase the Kansai region as an innovation center that produces such companies, we are holding the Kansai Future Summit 2020. This event will foster regional development by bringing together influential and interesting people from industry, government and academia. Under our theme of “Fun people gather to create fun connections”, we will build a “network of interesting and fun people such as industry pioneers and industry leaders.”
