Kyoto is an unusual city in the world, due to the coexistence of a wide range of manufacturing industries, from the traditional to cutting-edge.

For a long time the capital of Japan, Kyoto has nurtured sensitivity and technology backed by history and culture. Over the centuries, Kyoto has drawn in diverse peoples who, through diligence and dedication in their fields, have cultivated a climate of respect for originality and progressiveness. Kyoto has continued to create new value that brings innovation into people's lifestyles.

As in the example of SDGs being advocated by the United Nations, international society is now calling for the building of sustainable society and business. Whether for urban planning in harmony with nature, business styles and management ideologies that stress sustainability, or diversity of industries that promote innovative activities, Kyoto is richly endowed with fertile ground and wisdom for supporting future enterprises.

Based on the theme "Vivid Kyoto", this Chamber is aiming for development of new wisdom in Kyoto, by attracting people with diverse perspectives of value and by encouraging creative activity. We are focused on all-Kyoto support for advancement of your corporate activities.

I have high hopes for business development emerging from enhanced exchange between your businesses and Kyoto.
