For Companies and Organizations
The World Matcha Forum is an annual online charity event hosted from Switzerland for people all over the world. This year, participants join from Japan, Switzerland, Germany, Peru, France, Bhutan and beyond. As a sponsor, you receive a matcha experience event in kimono for your own team or guests. It is ideal for employee well-being, CSR, client invitations and international learning in schools. ✨
Everything is run by volunteers, and all proceeds are donated. For last year’s results, see the report on the 2nd forum (donations up about 80% on the previous year).
