Creww's Role in the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo

Creww Inc., headed by CEO Sorato Ijichi, has taken a significant step in promoting international collaboration by becoming the official partner for the Nordic Pavilion's event dubbed "Showcasing Nordic and Japanese Innovations for the Future". This event is scheduled to take place on May 16, 2025, at the JAMBASE CONFERENCE in Osaka. It aims to bring together representatives from Nordic companies and universities with Japanese businesses and local authorities to foster collaboration and innovation.

The event promises to highlight cutting-edge technologies, specifically in the areas of high-speed data communication, 5G and 6G networks, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and Extended Reality (XR). Over the years, Nordic countries have gained remarkable expertise in these domains, and the event will serve as a unique platform to share insights and innovations with Japanese start-ups and enterprises keen to explore potential collaborations.

The main agenda will not only revolve around showcasing innovative technologies but will also include discussions about how these innovations can be integrated into various industries within Japan. These collaborative efforts represent an opportunity to bridge gaps and create opportunities for knowledge exchange between Nordic and Japanese firms.
