- Background of Participation: Accelerating Overseas Business Development in Southeast Asia

In recent years, as tourism demand recovers and premiumization advances across Southeast Asia, demand for Japanese chefs in Japanese restaurants and hotels has been rising. However, mechanisms connecting local businesses with Japanese culinary talent remain underdeveloped, leaving many operators struggling to secure qualified personnel.

Through this exhibition, Sharedine aims to acquire overseas business opportunities via direct consultations with hotel and restaurant operators, strengthen partnerships, and create new international career pathways for Japanese chefs.

Additionally, through direct dialogue with local operators, the company will deepen its understanding of market needs and advance the establishment of a regional business foundation and service expansion in Southeast Asia.
