2024.08.30 Third Collaboration Campaign Between EXPO2025 Digital Wallet and Osaka Restaurants!

The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition (hereinafter referred to as “the Association”)  will collaborate with the Osaka Restaurant Association (Naniwa-ku, Osaka; Representative: Kanji NAKAI Kanji; hereinafter referred to as “ORA”), exhibitor of the private sector pavilion ‘ORA Restaurant Pavilion “Banquet – UTAGE”’, to launch a campaign on the Expo 2025 Digital Wallet.
The campaign will utilise the new “Token Discovery Programme” feature of the “Connect” business collaboration service to encourage people to visit various ORA  member restaurants in the Osaka and Kansai region with the goal of creating new fans and repeat customers.
Users can enter a draw for special NFT* coupons and goods that can be used at each restaurant. New projects will also be developed during the campaign period.

 * NFT (Non-Fungible Token): Irreplaceable digital data created based on a blockchain. This rally will use SBT (Soul Bound Token), a type of NFT technology that cannot be tampered with and cannot be transferred to another party. This is expected to be a new technology that can be used for participation certificates, etc.
