Vice Presidents participate in Manchester Day at EXPO 2025
Vice Presidents Fuminori Tokunaga and Masahide Takahashi participated in Manchester Day at the EXPO 2025 UK Pavilion on June 19, 2025.
The event, hosted by Osaka City and Greater Manchester, invited companies and organizations that serve as bridges between the two cities in the fields of industry, technology, research, and education. This included OMU and its academic partner, Manchester Metropolitan University.
During the first half, Vice President Takahashi participated in the Manchester VIP Seminar, where speeches were given by government officials and business leaders, including Greater Manchester Mayor, Andy Burnham, and Osaka Governor, Hirofumi Yoshimura. Two panel discussions invited participants to exchange opinions and foster innovative ideas to deepen the cities’ cooperative partnerships.

Vice President Tokunaga attended the welcome reception held in the evening and enjoyed “BLOOM,” a live performance celebrating the relationship between Greater Manchester and Osaka that combined the regions’ music, fashion, and dance.
This event provided a valuable opportunity for university officials from OMU and Greater Manchester to strengthen their partnerships. We look forward to further development of these exchanges in the future.
