Yasutsugu Kohzuki told the delegation that OCCI was established in August, 1878, and is the largest comprehensive economic organization in Japan, with its membership mainly composed of commercial and industrial businesses of Osaka. As an important port city of Japan, Osaka is also the second largest economic center in Japan, with a large pool of SMEs. One of the major annual tasks of OCCI is to support the operation of SMEs, equip them with professional managers, and advise and guide them on how to improve their business operation.
