At Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, where many companies are showcasing cutting-edge technology and initiatives, URBAN RESEARCH decided to take on a challenge that no one else dared, using its internal restructuring as an opportunity to reinvent itself as a new URBAN RESEARCH. It is the only apparel-related company with its own booth at the event.
The company, which upholds the corporate philosophy of "sharing the amazing," is introducing innovative initiatives at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, that break the mold of conventional fashion.
