Shanghai and Yangtze Trade Promotion Project


Economic revitalization through trade with the Yangtze Basin


The Shanghai and Yangtze Basin economic bloc is a driving force of remarkable economic growth in China. The City of Kobe is now facilitating the Shanghai and Yangtze Trade Promotion Project to revitalize the local economy through promoting trade and communication between China’s great economic bloc and Kobe.


This interregional communication is the first of its kind between China and Japan. This project is designed to promote trade and communication beneficial for both Chinese and Japanese enterprises. Current activities include promoting the establishment of business between Japan and China, supporting local enterprises involved in business between Japan and China, providing information, seminars and lectures, setting up showcase business meetings for Chinese imports, and offering opportunities for business matching.
Exchange Planning Signature

At the same time, the formation of a “New China Town,” where enterprises from Japan and abroad are assembled, is being facilitated to develop business between Japan and China on Port Island 2nd Stage. About 50 enterprises involved in business between Japan and China have already located to Kobe. In April 2005, the New China Town Support Center was established to promote the establishment of Chinese business in Kobe and to support exchange students planning business activities in Kobe.
