ABOUT
WHAT'S 「HASEKURA2.0」
HASEKURA2.0 is a BUSINESS EXCHANGE and TRAINING PROGRAM for SMEs, social entrepreneurs and local authorities from the EU and Japan (especially Tohoku).
INTER-LOCALIZATION, TRADITION+INNOVATION and SUSTAINABILITY are the keywords of our project.
We promote cross-borders relations and a NEW BUSINESS MODEL focused on PEOPLE, with a POSITIVE impact on LOCAL COMMUNITIES, yet FORWARD looking.
TOPICS
HASEKURA2.0 focuses on 4 topics:
1.CRAFTS & DESIGN
2. GASTRONOMY
3. RESPONSIBLE TOURISM
4. SMART COMMUNITIES
We support projects that innovate on tradition, in order to create a SUSTAINABLE SOCIETY for future generations.
We don't sell objects but connect STORIES;
We don't promote the "made in" but the "THOUGHT BY".
