Also well-served on the logistics front, with a highly-developed transport network and urban infrastructure that includes Kansai International Airport, Osaka is the ideal city for business.

In the global league, Japan's pharmaceuticals market is second only to America's. Osaka has been Japan's "medicine town" for the last 350 years, and even today, it is home to more than 300 pharmaceutical manufacturers. It also features numerous research institutions, and has attracted its own "bio-cluster" centered in the city's northern quarter.

What is more, Osaka is also renowned as a "gourmet city," where a vast range of cuisines can be enjoyed. Thriving foodstuffs companies abound here, and many firms carry out their own R&D in areas such as functional foods.
