Superstation offers creative project development and consultancy services to its clients. One of its signature projects is "Knowledge Capital" in Osaka – an innovative hub comprising about 100 companies, universities and research organisations to create new and innovative ideas through the exchange of knowledge. The company plans, designs, organises and operates various kind of events and international festivals at the Knowledge Capital, says the CEO of Superstation International Ltd, Mr Takuya Nomura.
Mr Nomura said, "We gained support for our Knowledge Capital project from Hong Kong partners even before its inauguration. We want to build on our existing connections as well as explore new business partnerships and opportunities in the fields of technology, art, science and culture through the Hong Kong office.

Having a base here will help us expand our business to Mainland China and other parts of Asia and, in the future, to Europe.
