Thames Valley Chamber has been appointed national co-ordinator for the recruitment of UK entrepreneurial businesses for Osaka Chamber of Commerce & Industry (OCCI) virtual Global Innovation Forum (GIF) 2024.
This is the sixth year this forum has run, and pervious years have seen several UK start-up/innovative businesses being selected to participate, with great success, finding partners and investment for their products.
This year OCCI is seeking 5/6 UK startup/innovative businesses, in the following sectors:
The forum activities will provide successful applicants with access to a wide innovation network in Osaka, profiling to over 30000 OCCI members as well as over 700 GIF community members who are actively seeking collaborating or offering investment.
With participation free to participants, from the end of May 2024, the successful businesses will be showcased in the GIF Virtual Exhibition, with July seeing participants taking part in a virtual pitch to potential Japanese partners, with complimentary interpretation support provided by OCCI. Following the live pitch OCCI and TVCC will be there to provide 1-2-1 support to the businesses to ensure they maximise the opportunities which arise.
The deadline for applications is 17 May 2024.
This opportunity in the UK is only open to businesses via the UK Chamber Network and demonstrates UK Chambers involvement in promotion of global trade and investment across the world.
