Today, we’d like to introduce events of the Scottish Government for EXPO 2025 OSAKA, KANSAI JAPAN, organized by Candlewick🤝✨

Scotland Gaming Showcase

In April, the “Scotland Gaming Showcase” was held at the UK Pavilion at the Osaka-Kansai Expo! ✨🎮

Organized by the Scottish Government and SDI (Scottish International Development Agency), this event served as the first Scotland Day during the Expo, with the aim of strengthening the strategic partnership between the Japanese and Scottish gaming industries🎯

The event was packed with captivating content for attendees, including a panel discussion with gaming industry leaders, showcases by notable studios like 4J Studios and KeelWorks, and interactive play👾✨

In addition, the evening reception showcased a wide variety of Scottish consumer goods, including Scotch whisky, sustainable cosmetics and premium seafood, providing an opportunity to explore new possibilities for collaboration with Japan🌍🥃

Our company supported the event’s public relations, social media, and media relations on the day. We are pleased to have been involved in this valuable project that showcases Scottish creativity and innovation!

International Collaboration at Scotland HealthTech Day

We supported Scotland Healthtech Day at Expo 2025 Osaka! ✨

Led by the Scottish Government and Scottish Development International (SDI), a trade mission visited Japan in June, with highlights including a seminar in Tokyo, participation in Japan Health 2025, and a special showcase in the UK Pavilion at Osaka Expo 2025!

At the Healthtech Day pavilion, innovative solutions in AI, robotics, dementia care, and digital health were introduced to tackle shared global healthcare challenges.

Scotland’s Cabinet Secretary, Neil Gray, emphasized the country’s unique “Triple Helix” innovation model —bringing together industry, academia, and public sectors — and the global strength of its Healthtech ecosystem.

Six Scottish companies showcased cutting-edge technologies, from emotion-support robots and surgical ultrasound devices to nanomaterial-based biosensors and tactile e-skin.

📌 Candlewick proudly supported this initiative as their Japan-based PR partner, providing media outreach, social media strategy, and on-the-ground support.
It was an honor to help amplify Scotland’s vision for global innovation and collaboration in healthcare.
