イベント概要：

大阪ならびに関西地方は近年、海外からの投資や観光の継続的な増加と相まって、国内および国際的なビジネスにおける重要な中心地となっています。2019年、大阪では初めてG20サミットが開催され、20ヶ国の先進国・新興国の代表をお迎えすることになります。また、大阪・関西は2025年万博招致活動の先頭を走っており、さらに今年7月のIR（統合型リゾート）設置法成立を受けて、関西の主要都市が日本初のIR候補地として強い関心を寄せている状況です。
 
関西のさらなる成長の鍵は、地方行政・政治と経済界が協力的な関係を築き、地域のニーズに対して革新的かつ相互利益的な解決策を示せるかにかかっています。
 
そこで今回は、日本を代表する政府渉外担当企業GR Japan 株式会社の代表取締役社長であるヤコブ・エドバーグ氏が、企業の地方行政に対する戦略的な働きかけやコミュニケーションがいかに成長に寄与するか、大阪・関西での近年の取り組みを踏まえて見識を披露します。
 
合わせて、国と大阪・関西の関係進展、9月20日の自民党総裁選結果から見えてくるもの、今秋の臨時国会で提出される法案のビジネスに対する影響についてもお話しさせていただきます。
 
講演及び質疑応答の後、19:30よりネットワーキングのお時間をご用意しております。

Event Overview:

Osaka and the Kansai region have become important centers for Japanese and multinational businesses in recent years, with a sustained and continuing increase in international investment and tourism. In 2019 Osaka will host the G20 summit for the first time – welcoming representatives from the world’s 20 leading industrialized and emerging economies. Osaka-Kansai is also the front-runner to host World Expo 2025, while major cities in the Kansai region are strong favorites for the location of Japan’s first integrated resort, following the passage of the Integrated Resort Implementation Act in July.
 
One of the keys to the regions’ growth is the work by local governments and business communities to build collaborative relationships that provide innovative and mutually beneficial solutions to local needs.
 
Jakob Edberg, President & CEO of GR Japan, Japan’s leading government relations company, will share his insights on recent developments in the efforts of the regions’ business communities in this area, including how companies’ strategic engagement and communications activities with local governments have contributed to growth.
 
He will also speak about the evolving relationship between the national government and the Osaka and the Kansai regions, the outcome of the LDP leadership election on 20 September, and the impact of bills that will be deliberated during the extraordinary Diet session this fall.
