Tokyo, JAPAN -- December 24, 2024 Explore The Inspiring Story of Mr. Soichiro HONDA: Pioneering "The Power of Dreams" with Vision and Passion! Soichiro Honda was born on November 17, 1906, in Komyo Village (now Tenryu City), Iwata County, Shizuoka Prefecture, as the eldest son of Gihei Honda and his wife Mika. Gihei was a skilled and honest blacksmith and Mika an accomplished weaver. The family was poor but Soichiro’s upbringing was happy, even though his parents were insistent about the need for basic discipline. It was thanks to the thorough education he received from his father that Mr. Honda, despite his freewheeling, irrepressible personality, hated nothing more than inconveniencing others and was always punctual about keeping appointments. He also inherited from his father his inborn manual dexterity and his curiosity about machines. https://lnkd.in/eUcVhrMR

Tokyo, JAPAN -- December 24, 2024 Kansai International Management MA: A Shared Vision of Purpose-Led Innovation to Drive Japanese Global Businesses Forward ! Japanese Foreign direct investment (FDI) has grown significantly in Morocco over recent decades, and Moroccan governments now regard FDI as a key component of their development strategy. The potential benefits of FDI include the provision of financial resources, job creation, increased economic growth and spillover effects on local businesses. In addition, the development effectiveness of FDI depends on the ability of host countries to absorb technology and innovation from Japanese multinational companies. Japanese technology transfer is therefore a major issue in the context of FDI. Political institutions and economic players are working together to encourage effective and sustainable technology transfer. Technology transfer is therefore an essential process in capacity-building to remain competitive and innovate in a constantly changing economic environment. Technology transfer companies play a crucial role in this process, facilitating the exchange of knowledge and technology between the various players in the innovation ecosystem. After examining the two variables, Japanese Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) and Technology Transfer on economic growth, the results indicate that both variables have a positive impact on Morocco economic growth. While International technology transfer usually faces challenges, Kansai International Management has accumulated distinctive know-how enabling the transfer of technology and best practices process to turn challenges into business opportunities that drive success. Kansai International Management deployment plans are crafted to provide the cutting-edge, world-class Japanese technology to help any company cut costs, streamline operations, reduce inventory, minimize cycle time and therefor increase customer satisfaction.

Tokyo, JAPAN -- December 20, 2024 Explore Kansai International Management Article on PECB Insights Magazine: Tangier, Morocco -- The New Eldorado in The African Continent! In the scope they have, local leaders have demonstrated strong business acumen and a capacity to act in concert and effectively utilize information feedback loops, ensuring the responsiveness of higher tiers of decisionmakers in Morocco. Finally, the city’s manageable size, about a million inhabitants, makes it easier to get things done, as most key players know each other and interact on an almost daily basis. Without the interplay of such factors, Morocco’s massive investment in infrastructure could have amounted to a little more than just concrete poured onto a oncepristine Mediterranean beach. By 2020, Tangier Med Special Agency ‘‘TMSA’’ enlisted Japanese Trading House or ‘‘Sogo Sosha’’ in Japanese Sumitomo Corporation to sell five industrial parks, spanning 13 square kilometers, near the northern port city of Tangier, across the Strait of Gibraltar from Spain. The two companies will consider a joint venture to create such parks in the North Moroccan city. Goods and commodities shipped by sea from Tangier can reach destinations in the EU within a week. Tangier Med port has reached an annual shipping container capacity of more than 10 million, 20-foot equivalent units in 2022, the largest of any African or Mediterranean port and with lower labor costs than in Eastern Europe. The Royal and both central and local governments are determined to foster the transformation of Tangier into an internationally competitive business and industrial cluster, which is of utmost importance at all levels. Kansai International Management Tangier and Tokyo Office are able to provide FDI support services for Japanese multinational companies willing to invest in the automotive industry in the Tangier region of Morocco.

Tokyo, JAPAN -- December 20, 2024 Explore Kansai International Management Article on PECB Insights Magazine: Tangier, Morocco -- The New Eldorado in The African Continent! Tangier’s Renaissance can in part be attributed to its reliance on an innovative public-private delivery model for national and local policies rather than a more conventional government-only approach. Displaying a nimbleness and flexibility more typically associated with private-sector firms, corporatized entities such as the Tangier-Med Special Agency (TMSA) bring together various stakeholders involved in trade, investment attraction, workforce development, and regional decision-making. Such an approach has contributed to Tangier’s ability to be responsive to the needs of private-sector investors, especially foreign ones, as exemplified by the establishment of cutting-edge facilities to train workers with the skills needed for Tangier’s emerging industries like automotive and aerospace. Kansai International Management has had its head office in Tangier since its venture design outset back in 2013 and has led the way in international technology, and best practices transfer mainly in Japanese high-tech industries, such as Lean Industry 4.0 and Waste to Energy 2.0.

Tokyo, JAPAN -- December 20, 2024 Explore Kansai International Management Article on PECB Insights Magazine: Tangier, Morocco -- The New Eldorado in The African Continent! Tangier sits at the crossroads of trade routes and civilizations – on African soil, but just a few miles from Europe’s southern shores. Throughout its history, this exceptional location has attracted merchants, bankers, artists, vacationers, and all manner of adventurers, becoming a cosmopolitan, multilingual place, highly tolerant of diversity. Tangier city was able to spur economic growth and create jobs for its rising population, especially given that it is not endowed with oil or natural gas reserves like many others in the region. Tanger created new jobs three times as fast as Morocco as a whole (employment growth averaged 2.7% and 0.9% per year, respectively), while also outpacing national GDP growth by about a tenth. The geographical location of Tanger city is considered a very strategic pathway to Europe, Americas, and Middle East. Since 2000, Tanger City grabbed the Royal’s attention for transforming the city into a business hub in the Mediterranean region. the Moroccan central government embarked on a massive investment in infrastructure, including the vast new state-of-the-art Tanger-Med Port, modern high-speed train system ‘‘Al Boraq’’ catalyzing the distance between Morocco two major economic poles Tanger-Casablanca, modern rail system and road links, upgraded airports, as well as a range of market-opening initiatives such as free trade agreements, open skies airline travel, and relaxed investment and visa regimes. Such measures benefitted the whole country in general, but especially gateway cities such as Tanger. The Royal and Moroccan government support is very significant and has direct impact in fostering existing and future FDIs. Indeed, many government bodies were created for this purpose mainly Tanger Mediterranean Special Agency (TMSA) and associated governing entities such as : Tanger Free Zone (TFZ), Tanger Med Port Authority, and Tanger Automotive City TAC I and TAC II. These national “enabling” interventions were accompanied by highly successful local ones. The city and regional governments embarked on a host of “place-making” initiatives to improve the quality of life for Tanger’s residents and visitors alike, from better water supply and waste management, to the preservation of green spaces, restoration of cultural monuments and beaches, and reduced traffic congestion and pollution through more effective geospatial planning. Meanwhile, the city’s old port of Tanger Ville is being redeveloped, helping to attract cruise ships, and allows the construction of a new Marina. https://lnkd.in/ezW2fCVw
