The City of Osaka has regarded attracting both domestic and international businesses and research/development institutes as a major priority in its overall efforts to advance international economic relations. To this extent, the city of Osaka established the IBPC Osaka Investment Promotion Center in April 2003 to realize its investment promotion goals. With its extensive ties with Business Partner Cities (BPC) and its network of overseas branches, We are not only engaged in domestically and internationally advertising Osaka’s advantages as a base of operations for advancing business in Japan. It also endeavors to meet the needs of companies considering investment in Osaka by offering a wide range of services which include: arranging business negotiations with Osaka-based corporations; preparing business incentives; providing information on facility setup, living environment, and legal incorporation procedures; and preparing temporary office space. We provide a “one-stop service” through a newly established section staffed by 8 dedicated members. These members of staff will assist enterprises preparing to establish their business bases in Osaka by locating offices and housings, offering business-matching opportunities, helping them with everyday needs and corporate matters, and providing necessary living and business information.
