All exhibitors and partners who have already registered interest will be contacted shortly with full application details. Those wishing to register their interest can do so via the BESPOKED website.
“The level of interest in BESPOKED Osaka has been extraordinary,” said Petor Georgallou, Director of BESPOKED. “It underlines the strength of the global framebuilding community and the appetite for meaningful, in-person connection. Osaka allows us to bring together big names and small, independent makers from across the world, creating a space where innovation, heritage and community sit side by side.”

Why Osaka? Osaka sits at the heart of Japan’s bicycle manufacturing heritage. From the precision of NJS-certified Keirin builders, whose frames carried world champions, to contemporary builders, the region has a reputation for uncompromising quality and innovation. Today, that tradition continues through apprenticeships and the next generation of builders carrying the craft forward.
BESPOKED Osaka will celebrate Japan’s vibrant handmade scene, while also welcoming international builders to build a new frame building hub in Asia. This cultural exchange is central to the show - giving Japanese makers a platform to reach new audiences, while offering international exhibitors the chance to learn from Japan’s unique approach to craftsmanship, design, and cycling culture.
