"INVEST JAPAN, INVEST KANSAI" -For Food Tech-

Food tech is a coined term that combines “food” and “technology,” referring to new technologies in the food sector—from production and processing to distribution and consumption—as well as the business models that leverage these technologies.

Kansai has long served as a central region of Japan, fostering a rich food culture and a robust food industry throughout its history. Building on this strong foundation, the region also offers a highly favorable environment for the development of the food-tech sector.
Furthermore, the region benefits from the presence of academic institutions and research organizations that contribute to the advancement of the food‑tech sector. There is also active open innovation across diverse players and industries.

We hope you will find this booklet useful to learn about the general situation in Kansai in the field of food tech.
