'Osaka-Kansai Global Business Support Consultation 2026' Overview

The Osaka International Business Support Consortium (Secretariat: Osaka Business Development Agency) will hold the 'Osaka-Kansai Global Business Support Consultation 2026' on July 7, 2026 (Tue) at the Osaka Sangyo Sozokan. This event is designed for companies facing challenges such as, 'I'm interested in cross-border e-commerce or foreign talent recruitment but don't know where to start,' 'I want to export products but need to know the specific regulations and procedures,' or 'I need to know how to find foreign buyers or information on subsidies.'

Amidst a shrinking domestic market due to population decline and accelerating labor shortages, 'global expansion' and 'utilization of foreign talent' have become indispensable strategies for the sustainable growth of SMEs.
