A Romanian delegation composed of business executives, entrepreneurs, and public administration officials will travel to Japan in June 2025 to attend Expo 2025 Osaka. The mission aims to facilitate business partnerships, institutional collaborations, and knowledge exchange in various economic sectors.
The delegation will follow two distinct tracks: a business track focused on industry meetings, B2B matchmaking, and investment opportunities, and a local public administration track emphasizing bilateral cooperation between Romanian and Japanese institutions.

The trade mission will commence with the Romanian Expo Osaka Conference, featuring business presentations, investment discussions, and B2B/B2G meetings. Divided into two tracks, the trade mission will serve both the business sector, focusing on commercial partnerships, market insights, and industrial networking, and public administration, facilitating discussions on governance, city development, and institutional collaboration. Delegates will engage in direct exchanges with Japanese companies and institutional representatives, exploring opportunities for technology transfer, innovation partnerships, and trade expansion, while visits to national pavilions will provide insight into Japan’s industrial and economic landscape. Beyond the Expo, the agenda includes business forums, institutional exchanges, and study visits in multiple locations. Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Kobe, Hiroshima, and Nagoya will host meetings focused on technology transfer, innovation, urban development, and industrial cooperation. These visits will strengthen the delegation’s understanding of Japanese business culture, smart city solutions, and industrial policies.

This initiative follows Romania’s increasing engagement with Japan in trade, investment, and policy dialogue. Previous Romanian trade missions have led to bilateral agreements, joint ventures, and academic collaborations. To build on this engagement, a second trade mission will take place in August 2025, providing an opportunity for Romanian and Japanese stakeholders to further develop partnerships established in June. This continued presence at Expo 2025 Osaka highlights Romania’s commitment to deepening economic and institutional ties with Japan. By attending Expo 2025 Osaka, Romania seeks to deepen its economic relations with Japan, paving the way for new business and institutional partnerships in the coming years.
