Founders 2026 — Now Open

A Unique Ecosystem Connecting Business, Innovation, Culture & Talent

Czech-Japan Hub was created as a natural continuation of the successful Czech participation at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai. We bridge the distance between Czechia and Japan – overcoming cultural barriers in trade and building a strong community that delivers in a global context.

Unlike traditional chambers of commerce, we combine business acceleration with cultural & sport diplomacy, strategic intelligence, and physical business centers soon to be opened in Czechia and Japan.

A model no other organization in Japan offers.

Why Now?

EXPO 2025 introduced a new format of Czech presentation abroad. Companies that invested in participation strengthened their positions in Japan. These relationships require systematic care — without institutional support, they lose momentum within 12–18 months.

Dual Legal Structure

Hub operates through two coordinated entities: a registered association in Czechia and an Ippan Shadan Hojin in Japan — forming a unified ecosystem for seamless bilateral operations.

Top-Level Access

A unique network of contacts built during EXPO 2025 at the level of embassies, government institutions, and prominent Japanese figures. This capital is non-transferable and unavailable to any other organization.

Five Strategic Pillars

A comprehensive service framework for the private and public sector, delivered through expert Working Groups.
