International Collaboration Platform
O to the World is an international collaboration platform starting from Osaka, connecting Japanese brands, creators, and projects with partners around the world.
Through collaboration programmes, pop-ups, storytelling, and cultural exchange, we help people and companies from different places meet, work together, and create new ideas, products, and experiences.
We believe that meaningful collaboration begins with understanding culture, people, and stories — and from there, new opportunities naturally grow.
What We Do
Through O to the World, we organise:
- International cohort collaboration programmes
- Brand and product collaboration projects
- Pop-up stores and market entry programmes
- Media and storytelling collaborations
- Cultural and creative exchange programmes
- Workshops and matching sessions
- E-commerce and distribution collaborations

Typical collaboration programmes include:
- Selection of Japanese and international cohort companies
- Osaka programme – company visits, workshops, matching sessions
