On December 2, 2025, the “Saudi Vision 2030 Tokyo Networking Forum” was held, and investment funds and corporate representatives involved in Saudi Arabia’s national strategy came to Japan to explore possibilities for collaboration with Japanese companies and institutions.
The forum introduced Japanese companies to investment strategies and collaboration opportunities that advance Saudi Arabia’s national strategy, “Saudi Vision 2030,” and was held as a venue for public-private networking. Japanese government officials and corporate executives also participated, and participants shared their interest in investment and collaboration.
ePARA, as one of the selected project operators for the FY2025 “Subsidy for Project Costs for Petroleum Refining Technology and Related Measures in Oil-Producing Countries,” participated in the various programs and networking sessions.
We will continue our efforts to strengthen exchanges between Japan and Saudi Arabia through barrier-free esports.
