What is the “Future Route”?
The “Future Route” is an interactive exhibition to be held by the Organization for Small & Medium Enterprises and Regional Innovation, Japan (hereafter, SMRJ) at the Osaka/Kansai Expo for five days from Friday, October 3 to Tuesday, October 7, 2025.
We will introduce future-oriented products, services, technologies, etc. divided into five values (themes), likening small and medium-sized enterprises that challenge themselves to solve social issues by making the most of their strengths and advance into the future to “challengers setting sail on an unknown ocean”.
We hope that you will be able to experience the challenges and values of small and medium-sized enterprises that will realize future society by coming into contact with the various technologies and ideas of small and medium-sized enterprises.
