This fair will aim at creating a gathering place or a business trading center for local SMEs in Greater Nagoya region. Greater Nagoya Initiative will set a booth to promote our activity and attract more partners to local companies to join the GNI partners club. The GNI Partners Club is for local companies to find a business alliance with an oversea company. The Messe Nagoya is also to serve as a place to make lively business exchanges for local vibrant companies and organizations that are proud of their competitive products, technologies and services. It was also great opportunity to show how Greater Nagoya is full of active Monozukuri technologies.
Many international organizations attended the fair such as UBI FRANCE, NRW Japan K.K., the Economic Development Agency of North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW) Germany. They will conduct their business-exchange activities in their own booths along with local companies in Greater Nagoya.
In this year, the theme of the trade fair was “Safety Security and Trust.” 45,530 people attended the fair last year. The Messe Nagoya made its debut in 2006, carrying on the philosophy of “Nature’s Wisdom”, the theme of the”2005 World Exposition, Aichi Japan” Reflecting needs of changing society and economy. Many SMEs with outstanding technologies will be gathering and conducting business exchanges at MESSE NAGOYA.
