Concept

Osaka ATC Green Eco Plaza seeks to achieve a better society through the cultivation and promotion of eco-business.

As they grow more complex with each passing year, environmental problems involving the atmosphere, water, noise, waste products, and energy demand quick movement on solutions by citizens, corporations, and local government. Osaka ATC Green Eco Plaza was conceived in the recognition that dealing with environmental problems such as these is becoming an increasingly critical imperative. The Plaza was founded to contribute to the realization of a sustainable, recycling-based society while stimulating the development of nascent eco-businesses by introducing a broad selection of cutting-edge, ecologically responsible business opportunities and practices.

A leading attraction visited by some 9 million citizens every year, ATC is one of the anchor facilities in the Cosmo Square zone, which is being developed as a new subcenter of Osaka. A growing number of facilities devoted to cultivating and promoting new industries are springing up in Cosmo Square, including the social welfare-based ATC Ageless Center, Osaka Design Promotion Plaza, and Software Industry Plaza. Osaka ATC Green Eco Plaza is a gathering place for citizens who are committed to contributing to the resolution of environmental problems through the pursuit of eco-businesses. It was founded in recognition of the need for corporations, citizens, and local government to think and act together, and in the hope that these groups will come together to form an “ideal triangle” of activism in addressing the environmental challenges facing our society.
