GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2024

HIGASHIOSAKA FACTORies is a project dedicated to showcasing the diverse technological expertise and creative manufacturing capabilities of Higashiosaka to both domestic and international audiences. By combining the region’s exceptional technical expertise with fresh perspectives and innovative thinking, this initiative aims to develop solutions suited to contemporary needs while revitalizing local industry. The connections and creations born here become FACTORs — catalysts and building blocks—forming a platform that generates new value and possibilities for the future. From “Higashiosaka, the City of Manufacturing” — with its over 300-year history and approximately 6,000 business establishments — we are reaching out to the world anew to share our distinctive strengths.
