The 'Osaka Startup Ecosystem Consortium' is operated by the 'Osaka Innovation Hub', a base of the Osaka Business Development Agency. This consortium utilizes the agglomeration of Osaka and Kansai to support the emergence of startups that will fly out to the world, while aiming to build a startup ecosystem on par with the rest of the world. In June 2025, through the collaboration of Kyoto, Osaka, and Kobe, it was selected as a 'Global Hub City (Wide-Area Metropolitan Type)' by the Cabinet Office.
