Kobe City, which has developed as a business gateway for European companies, has opened a European office last year in Paris to make a further leap forward. This organization strongly supports companies that aim at establishing their Japan branch offices in Kobe, whose strengths lie in industries that specialize in the bio-medical field, aerospace and hydrogen-related technologies.

This division specifically provides support services such as company registration, bank account opening, office search, and human resource search, and reduces the financial burden at the time of starting a company by providing registration assistance and office rent subsidies. In addition, the organization endeavors to introduce companies located in Kobe to companies that may collaborate in the Kansai region and support their business expansion.

The City of Kobe is supporting the expansion of the hydrogen industry into the European market for companies that are based in the city. In line with this attempt, representatives of the local government will exhibit with companies from Kobe at the Hydrogen Technology EXPO2024 to be held in Germany on 23-24 October. The point of this event will be for Kobe City to reassert its support of business matching activities with European companies. Feel free to visit Invest in Kobe’s official website for more information about their activities.
