Japan-Netherlands Society of the Kansai

The Society was established in 1959, following a proposal by Konosuke Matsushita, the founder of the Panasonic Group, which deepened the bond with the Netherlands through business and cooperation of industry, government and academia in Kansai. Since then, we have continued enlightenment and exchange activities between Japan and the Netherlands for over 60 years.
