Regional industrial and employment initiatives in Japan

Overview

In Fukushima Prefecture, the Fukushima Innovation Coast Framework Promotion Organization is organizing a business tour for late November 2026. The tour, departing from Aizuwakamatsu City, aims to facilitate collaboration between local businesses and companies expanding into the Innovation Coast region by visiting sites such as Aizawa High Voltage Concrete Co., Ltd., Asano Itoshi Co., Ltd., and Berg Fukushima Co., Ltd.

In Fukuoka Prefecture, efforts to bolster the regional economy include addressing labor shortages in the construction industry through joint job fairs in cities like Kurume, Iizuka, Kitakyushu, and Fukuoka City.

The seminar will highlight Fukuoka’s proximity to Asia and feature speakers from companies such as High Power Oy and CTC-SYSTEX Co., Ltd., both of which have plans to establish a presence in the region during 2026.
