or business establishments to Kobe (according to City of Kobe figures for
2009). Among these are many global enterprises such as Nestle and Procter

examples of Kobe being one of the best cities in Japan in which to smoothly

Those that locate their headquarters
or business establishments to Kobe are from many different
countries such as China, the U.S.A, Switzerland, France
and Germany. Why have they chosen Kobe? Here is a partial
list of reasons.
“
The center of business does not have to be in Tokyo.
Because Kobe is a comfortable city, our employees really
enjoy living here.”
-Nestle
“
With convenient access and high level of public security,
we enjoy the advantages of both urban life and nature here.
The educational environment for our children is also excellent.”
-P&G
“
Life sciences in Japan are quite advanced with a high quality
of research coming out of research institutions. I have
great expectations for the Kobe Medical Industry Development
Project.”
-Eli Lilly
Relations between Kobe and foreign-affiliated companies
began in earnest in1868 when the Port of Kobe was opened.
The spirit of welcoming globally active enterprises has
a long established past with the citizens of Kobe so the
groundwork has already been laid for foreign-affiliated
companies to easily locate here.
