We engaged with leading players including Toyota Tsusho Material Incorporated, NTT西日本, Kawasaki Heavy Industries, Ltd., and SBI Investment, and connected with other key stakeholders across Japan’s industrial ecosystem.

For Nandina, 𝐉𝐚𝐩𝐚𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐚 𝐤𝐞𝐲 𝐠𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭. As the world rewires how goods are built and traded, we’re helping strengthen supply chain resilience by expanding local access to critical materials like circular carbon fibre. In the near term, we’re focused on rapid scaling with local partners. Longer term, we’re here to build – with Japan, for the region.

Thank you to METI, JETRO, NEDO, and the city of Osaka for the warm welcome and future-facing conversations.
