BJA & BLCCJ Webinar Series: Belgian Companies present at Expo Osaka

Tuesday 30 September 2025

The Belgium-Japan Association & Chamber of Commerce (BJA) and the Belgian-Luxembourg Chamber of Commerce in Japan (BLCCJ) are thrilled to invite you to the third and last session of our exciting three-part webinar series focusing on Expo 2025 Osaka.

After hearing about the economic opportunities in Osaka and a talk with the Belgian Pavilion director, we will now hear from Belgian companies that are involved in the Expo and in the Belgian Pavilion in particular.

Member companies Barco, Beal International and UCB Japan will share with you:

What exactly they are doing at the Expo
How they got involved
The opportunities and challenges
Their impressions now that the Expo is ending

Whether you’re still planning a visit to Expo 2025 Osaka or want to hear first-hand from companies that are involved in a world-level event, this webinar is a must-attend.

Join us for this engaging discussion!
