Supporting startups

Creating an Environment That Supports Manufacturing Companies.

Since the early 2000s, the NKC Group has provided various forms of support, including facility access, to entrepreneurs and startup companies that will shape the future of Osaka. By fostering an environment where they can collaborate and inspire each other, these entrepreneurs and startups are able to generate innovations that would not emerge on their own. In recent years, support has extended beyond manufacturing to a wide range of startups in fields such as medical care, welfare, software development, brand creation, IoT, and IT. By providing new business opportunities, NKC aims to grow together with the companies it supports.
