Startup Portugal and AICEP will take Portuguese startups and scaleups to Japan, leveraging the visibility and opportunities of Expo 2025 Osaka. This global event, running from April 13 to October 13, is expected to attract over 28 million visitors from 161 countries, offering a unique platform for Portuguese businesses looking to expand into the Japanese and Asian markets.
Participating companies will access a tailored program supported by a dedicated Japanese consultant, selected meetings with potential clients and partners, and exclusive information to accelerate their international growth. The mission will visit three strategic cities: Tokyo on June 18, Nagoya on June 19, and Osaka on June 20, where startups will have the chance to participate in events at Expo 2025 Osaka.
Japan's economy is the third-largest in the world and one of the leading global centres of innovation and technology, providing a favourable environment for foreign companies. With a strong demand for technological, sustainable, and innovative solutions, Japan presents significant potential for startups and scaleups looking to internationalise and establish strategic partnerships in Asia. Participating in this mission is a unique opportunity to explore the Japanese business ecosystem, discover new business opportunities, and strengthen international presence.
