Investing in the Future
The Chubu region is home to clusters of the world's leading manufacturing industries, with the automotive industry̶the wellspring of Japan's industrial competitiveness̶as a key player. The region has indeed played an important role in propelling the Japanese economy forward. If we turn our eyes to the global economy, increasingly stronger economic partnerships, coupled with accelerating deregulation, have intensified competi-tion in global markets. Against this backdrop, based on the medium- to long-term outlook, the Chubu Bureau of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry aims to maintain and further strengthen the Chubu region's industrial competitiveness in global markets. In pursuit of this aim, we work in close cooperation with enterprises, business groups, supporting organizations, municipalities and other stakehold-ers to attain our vital mission of bringing the growth strategy into effect and putting a process in motion to reinforce the region's industrial competitiveness and invigorate the whole region. To this end, it is essential to promote investment in the future with a view to realizing Society5.0, a strategy to adopt innovations including IoT, Big Data, and AI, derived from the fourth Industrial Revolution, in every industry and life in society, thereby solving a wide range of social challenges. In light of this, we are advancing various initiatives in forming Connected Industries, in which industries will create new added value, products or services through connect-edness between different sectors, companies, people, data and machines. In addition, under the Regional Future Investment Promotion Act, we focus our policy resources on supporting efforts that challenge the growing manufac-turing sector and new sectors that have high growth potential, such as the tour-ism and sports sectors, taking full advantage of regional characteristics. In doing so, we strive to create new businesses and encourage companies to expand their investments. The SCMaglev (superconducting maglev) railway, which is scheduled to open in 2027, will create greater interactions between people and regions. With new initiatives in revitalizing the region being sought in anticipation of this develop-ment, we will work on investment in the future through actively investing in equipment and human resources.

Developing the environmental industry Advanced environmental technologies, which underpin the manufacturing industry, have been refined as the industry develops. We encourage R&D for those technologies, assist in seeking sales channels, and offer other support conducive to upgrading the skills of the personnel involved and acquiring new markets in and outside Japan.
Establishing Asia's No. 1 aircraft industrial cluster The Chubu region is home to Japan's largest aerospace industrial cluster. With the market of the industry expected to continue to expand in parallel with the growing demand for aircraft, our aim is to develop the Chubu region into Asia's No. 1 cluster, on a par with advanced regions in Europe and the U.S. In pursuit of this aim, we encourage businesses in reinforcing their supply chains and opening up new markets, while assisting them in recruiting, retaining and training their employees.
Developing the Hokuriku region into a home for Japan's major industrial clusters of life science and highly functional new materials The life science and highly functional new materials sectors are ranked as strategic industries by the Hokuriku Industrial Competitiveness Council. Designating the two as priority industrial sectors, we work to establish networks and promote the sectors' technological advancement toward enhancing their competitiveness. Efforts are also under way to develop core companies that lead the region and support their growth.
Strengthening the competitiveness of the healthcare industry In Japan, the birthrate has been declining in tandem with the population aging at a globally unprecedented speed. Against this backdrop, it is sought to create equipment or services that contribute to improving the QOL (quality of life) of citizens. We support initiatives to create advanced medical equipment or generate new services for health management and disease prevention, leveraging the strengths possessed by the Chubu region.

Enhance Global Competitiveness
Establish a Foundation for Industrial Development
With the aim of developing regional industries, we support initiatives to build up their “attracting power,” “power for earning overseas” and “exporting power.” In doing so, we strive to acquire a greater global market share and attract foreign direct investment or foreign visitors, thereby stimulating new industrial and technological innovations and the creation of employment.
To make the region more business-friendly, we endeavor to develop the region's strategic industries, strengthen its manufacturing foundational industry functions, and enhance the human resources bases of these industries, and at the same time, make steady progress in establishing a better business environment that lays the foundation of technology, financing and industry.
Promoting globalization of the Chubu region With a view to establishing the Chubu region as a global business center, a wide range of entit ies—government organizations, municipalities, and financial institutions and business support organizations such as chambers of commerce and industry in the region—have come together to establish the Chubu Consortium for a New Export Nation, offering comprehensive support to SMEs endeavoring to expand their operations outside Japan. We also work in synergy with activities of the Greater Nagoya Initiative (GNI) in the Tokai region and the Hokuriku region's economic exchange programs with Japan Sea Rim countries.
Promoting innovations with advanced technologies We pursue the creation of innovation in the region by offering support in improving both hard and soft infrastructure: more specifically, support in introducing equipment to verify/evaluate advanced technologies, building a network with universities and public research/testing institutes, and conducting joint research with manufacturing SMEs through industry-academia-government cooperation. In addition, in collaboration with IP Comprehensive Support Counters of INPIT (National Center for Industrial Property Information and Training) established in each prefecture, we encourage the efforts of SMEs in formulating business management strategies utilizing intellectual properties.
Promoting the enhancement of management ability with the use of IT/IoT and the creation of new industries We encourage the enhancement of the region's industrial competitiveness and the creation of new business or services made possible by innovative technologies such as IT, IoT (Internet of Things), big data, AI (artificial intelligence) and robots.
Training and securing regional human resources With manpower shortages becoming a persistent challenge to business management, increasing added value and enhancing labor productivity are indispensable to the growth of the region and the companies operating there. Bearing this in mind, we promote diverse and flexible workstyles and the active participation of women in the workplace, while supporting manufacturing SMEs in acquiring and retaining human resources.
The Greater Nagoya Initiative brands the economic area within an approximately 100 km radius of Nagoya as “Greater Nagoya” and communicates this brand overseas, creating new business opportunities through two-way activities that encourage both investment in Japan and growth overseas.

Improving the business management environment for SMEs and small-scale enterprises Each prefecture has a Yorozu Support Center as a base to enhance government support for SME's business management. We also work on various efforts to improve SME's business environment, which include supporting them with business succession or corporate turnaround, facilitated financing, proper subcontracts , and smooth and appropriate shifting of consumption taxes onto prices.
Revitalize the Region by Utilizing Regional Resources
In addition to supporting initiatives that serve as a powerful driving force for the growth of the regional economy, we utilize—discover, refine and network—the local resources particular to the Chubu region in revitalizing the exchange of people, products, capital and information. In doing so, we endeavor to support the region's healthy growth while elevating its attractive qualities.
Promoting investment in the regional future By supporting efforts that challenge new sectors with high growth potential, such as manufacturing, agriculture, forestry and fisheries, and tourism (“Regional Future Investment” efforts), taking advantage of regional characteristics, we strive to create a virtuous cycle of “earning power” in the Chubu region's economy. Under the Regional Future Investment Promotion Act enforced in July 2017, based on basic policies stipulated by the government of Japan, municipalities and prefectures prepare basic plans and seek the agreement of the national government. Based on the basic plans agreed to, businesses prepare plans for driving projects for the regional economy, for the prefectural governor's approval. Establishing the Investment in the Regional Future Promotion Office within the Chubu Bureau of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry with a Regional Future Concierge assigned to be responsible for each prefecture under its jurisdiction, we are working with respective local governments in supporting the businesses driving the regional economy.
Supporting regional revitalization To actively support regional revitalization efforts in each prefecture under our jurisdiction, we have assigned a “regional revitalization concierge” for each prefecture. We also assist in their policy planning by adopting and utilizing the big-data analysis system Regional Economy and Society Analyzing System (RESAS). With all these initiatives, we are addressing challenges facing the region in a diligent and meticulous manner.
Regional specialties support projects (regional resource utilization, agriculture-commerce-industry collaboration, etc.) We support the development of new products util izing the resources of the Chubu region, and promote agriculture-commerce-industry col laborat ive projects between SMEs and individuals/enterprises engaged in agriculture, forestry and fisheries. Furthermore, to seek new markets, both domestic and global, for products derived from the projects, we are focusing our efforts on providing business matching opportunities with buyers both inside and outside Japan.
Promoting the service industry and revitalizing shopping streets We facilitate the improvement of productivity in the service industry, the promotion of Cool Japan, and design promotion, and also support initiatives conducive to enhancing the ability of shopping streets, the cornerstones of communities, to entice more customers and increase sales. In an attempt to enhance inter-regional collaboration and promote wide-area tourism across multiple regions, efforts are under way across ministries and agencies to offer regional resource-based Cool Japan products and services, create new demand, and boost consumption.

Building a recycling-oriented society Our goal is to build a recycling-oriented society with low environmental impact. To this end, we effectively utilize “urban mines,” which are useful resources hidden in cities—primarily used small home appliances—while actively pursuing the 3R policy (Reduce waste generation, Reuse, and Recycle) and properly implementing individual recycling laws.
Proper surveillance of electricity and gas transactions We conduct proper surveillance of electricity and gas transactions to ensure fair and free competition.
Ensuring a safe and secure environment for consumers in their lives Upon request for consultation from consumers, we provide advice and at the same time take administrative measures against business operators proven to have committed malicious violations of laws and regulations. In doing so, we endeavor to ensure fairness in transactions involving consumers. Furthermore, by ensuring compliance with laws and regulations pertaining to product safety, we strive hard to achieve a safe and secure society.
Ensuring the stable supply of resources and energy that support society To ensure the quality of electricity, gas, and petroleum products and maintain their stable supply in preparation for disasters and other emergencies, we supervise and offer guidance to relevant business operators while working on the development of local areas around electricity- and petroleum-related facilities.
Realizing a low-carbon society and creating next-generation energy and social systems While promoting energy conservation and the Chubu region-created CO2 credit under the J-Credit Scheme, we are also engaging in efforts to achieve an optimal energy mix such as introducing renewable energies including solar power, wind power, and biomass; building a hydrogen society; and encouraging the local consumption of locally produced energies, capitalizing on regional characteristics.
