Tsubame BHB will participate as a panelist at the Kansai Africa Business Forum, to be held on Saturday, August 23, 2025 at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Osaka.

This forum is organized by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) as a follow-up event to the 9th Tokyo International Conference on African Development (TICAD9) held in Yokohama earlier in the week. The event will welcome ministers and key dignitaries from several African countries and aims to strengthen business, investment, and innovation ties between Japan and Africa.

During the session on “Initiatives and Outlook in the Field of Hydrogen and Renewable Energy,” our colleague Hiromi Suda (Marketing Unit, Business Development Division) will join as a panelist to present Tsubame BHB’s work on Green Ammonia technologies and their contribution to sustainable energy and agriculture.

The Kansai Africa Business Forum will highlight:

• The latest initiatives of Kansai-based companies in Africa
• Business opportunities in energy and renewable sectors
• Investment promotion and policy updates from African nations

It will serve as a valuable platform for exploring Africa–Japan partnerships, particularly in the fields of green energy, decarbonization, and local production.

We look forward to engaging with partners and stakeholders at this important event.
