Participation in the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, has delivered measurable business results for Czech companies. This is the finding of a survey by the Czech-Japan Hub association, in which partners of the Czech participation at EXPO 2025 took part. More than a quarter of respondents have already signed specific contracts with Japanese partners, and a further 55 % are engaged in active business negotiations. The survey also confirmed that the culturally strategic approach Czechia chose in Osaka demonstrably accelerates the building of trust with the Japanese side.
Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai closed its doors in October with 29 million visitors and an economic impact of up to JPY 3.6 trillion. For companies considering entry into the Japanese market, the event opens a narrow window: Kansai Region today commands an economy on the scale of Sweden, Belgium or Poland – at 30-50% lower operating costs than Tokyo. This analysis introduces the key Expo figures, sets them against the legacy of Expo 1970 (after which Kansai lost ground rather than gaining it), and spells out what would need to be done to make the outcome different this time.
Czech Japan Hub, a bilateral platform dedicated to strengthening long-term cooperation between Czechia and Japan, has officially launched its Japanese operations at a reception hosted by the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Tokyo.
