The ALPHA-RLH competitiveness cluster supports international innovation projects and is organizing a trip to Japan from 26 September to 2 October 2024. The objectives of this mission are to foster connections between participating companies and Japanese players in the creative and cultural industries. It also aims to leverage Japan's advanced expertise in the field of culture, video games, and immersive technologies. Japan is a pioneer in these fields, offering a rich environment full of opportunities for businesses.

This trip is part of the European project Friend CCI and aims to support European creative and cultural industries by offering them development opportunities. Two winning projects from the Friend CCI program will be part of the journey: CREACTIVE, which aims to enhance the visibility of European SMEs and facilitate their internationalization, and SOTER, which focuses on modeling the flow of people during cultural events with the objective of creating a serious game to improve festivalgoers' experience and safety. The program of this trip includes the Tokyo Game Show, where companies will be able to establish valuable contacts with key players in the Japanese creative industry, exploring new partnership and growth opportunities; networking meetings between French and Japanese companies; the discovery of the Nuit Blanche festival in Kyoto; a visit of the TeamLab museum and a meeting with the French Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan. This trip demonstrates ALPHA-RLH's commitment in supporting innovation and strengthening business relations between France and Japan, paving the way for new international development opportunities.

The organizers invite European and Japanese companies interested in this mission to contact Mrs. Colomar-Costa at the following address: j.colomar-costa(at)alpha-rlh.com
