On March 13, 2025, VegeProject joined the third general assembly of the Roundtable on Promoting Food Diversity. The initiative is led by the Kansai Economic Federation, which gathers major companies from the Kansai region to promote economic development.
The objective of this roundtable is to develop an environment accommodating diverse dietary needs—including halal, vegetarian, vegan, and allergy-friendly options—in the context of the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
