“Health and productivity management” (健康経営) is a dictionary-listed compound meaning “a management approach that maintains and improves the health of people working in a company and enhances organizational soundness.” (Translation of the quoted definition.)
“EXPO” is an English word meaning a world exposition or exhibition; its katakana reading, “ekisupo,” is also listed in Japanese dictionaries.
Actual trade circumstances
The Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry continuously implements measures promoting health and productivity management.
Exhibitions, seminars, forums and similar events on that theme have been held a considerable number of times.
Many events use “___ EXPO” with the subject placed at the beginning.
