About MLIT Support
*MLIT: Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Japan

MLIT, in cooperation with JASMOC, organizes seminars providing useful hints about business strategy　and planning to companies looking to expand overseas, addressing concerns businesses have about expansion overseas, and giving overviews of the construction market in Southeast Asia. Companies can obtain basic information necessary in the early planning phases of business expansion through these seminars.

Support is offered to companies throughout the process of preparation for overseas expansion—from strategic planning to finalizing a business plan—through individual meetings (online) with Registered Management Consultants. Worksheets have been prepared for use by companies in all stages of planning business expansion, from early in the research stage to the concrete planning stage.

In collaboration with local governments, government agencies, regional banks, and other organizations, MLIT, in cooperation with JASMOC, organizes seminars that offer insight to companies at various stages of overseas expansion, including those that have already expanded overseas, through introductions to types of support offered by various agencies for overseas expansion and lectures from local companies who have expanded overseas or have hired foreign human resources.
Since 2021, seminars have been held in the prefectures of Niigata, Aichi, Toyama, Hiroshima, Kochi, Miyazaki, and Okinawa.

MLIT, in cooperation with JASMOC, organizes online seminars that create opportunities for Japanese small and medium-sized construction companies and researchers and other individuals affiliated with foreign universities to network, with the aim of facilitating collaboration with engineering universities and local companies in Asia.
As participants from numerous countries and universities attend these seminars, it is a good opportunity to companies to become more widely known while also considering the countries and fields for utilizing their technologies.
