Reflecting on 2024 and best wishes for 2025

6 January 2025

Happy new year!

We would like to start by reflecting on 2024. 

Last year was a big milestone for us.

• 2024 was the 10th anniversary of the UK (Thames Valley)- Japan (Kansai) regional relationship, which we had initiated in 2014.  It was not easy to keep the relationship active during the COVID pandemic, however, we have continued to work closely with Chambers and UK and Japanese government organisations and have created many business opportunities.
• This regional relationship has now evolved to the UK nationwide World Expo 2025 Programme, as the World Expo will be held in Osaka, Kanai this year.
• We have continued to support UK-Japan business development and investment deals in the areas of sustainability, clean / green tech, manufacturing and engineering.
• In addition, we have extended our reach to Africa and supported a UK company’s business expansion in Nigeria.

We would like to thank all of our clients and business partners, who have shared the exciting journey with us.

We wish you all a joyful and exciting year 2025.
