Our company will hold a business seminar. As we approach 2040, while the growth of the elderly population in our country will gradually slow, the population aged 85 and over will continue to increase. This is expected to lead to a rise in the demand for emergency transport and home medical care for those aged 85 and over, making it an urgent issue to address the complex needs of individuals requiring both medical and nursing care. However, since the elderly population is increasing in urban areas and decreasing in depopulated regions, there is a need to implement strategies tailored to each region, as there are areas where the demand for home medical care is decreasing. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: February 17, 2025 (Monday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minamiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Participation Method: In-person, live streaming, archived streaming ■ Speaker: Kazuhiko Ezawa, M.D., Executive Director of the Japan Medical Association, Chairman of the Medical Corporation Hakuaikai, Medical Corporation Wakokai, and Social Welfare Corporation Yuwakai *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Our company will hold a business seminar. The water supply business, industrial water supply business, and basin sewerage business operated by the Miyagi Prefectural Enterprise Bureau are essential public services for the lives of residents and the business activities of companies in the prefecture. However, the management environment surrounding these services is expected to become increasingly severe due to a decrease in water demand caused by the arrival of a declining population society and the advancement of a water-saving society, leading to a reduction in fee income. At the same time, we are approaching a period of large-scale updates for facilities and pipelines. In such a management environment, it has become urgent to establish sustainable water management by strengthening the management foundation to ensure a stable supply of safe and secure water and stable treatment of wastewater in the future. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: February 6 (Thursday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minami Azabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Lecturer: Miyagi Prefectural Enterprise Bureau 　　　　Water Management Division 　　　　Technical Deputy Director and Senior Assistant Manager (In charge of Water Business Promotion) 　　　　Mr. Kenji Sasaki *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

From the perspective of strengthening Japan's growth potential and economic security, it is important for Japan to expand globally in fields where it has technological superiority. On the other hand, there is a tendency for companies to become conservative in their judgments in the face of risks and hurdles unique to overseas business. Therefore, in June 2022, it was decided to support overseas business investments by companies with technology and ambition as a government one team. To plan and implement these measures and to proceed with necessary adjustments, the "Overseas Business Investment Support Office" was established in the Cabinet Secretariat in August of the same year.

• Technical Seminar

Our company will hold a business seminar. Until now, corporate sustainability efforts have primarily focused on decarbonization and the disclosure of non-financial information, but attention is beginning to shift towards the impact on biodiversity in the supply chain and resource circularity. For example, while electric vehicles (EVs) are effective in terms of decarbonization, the extraction of lithium, a mineral resource essential for EV manufacturing, leads to various issues such as ecosystem loss, pollution, and human rights violations. Decarbonization, biodiversity, and well-being are interdependent and possess both trade-offs and synergy effects. Moving forward, it is necessary to visualize and evaluate these aspects holistically and implement optimal measures. This seminar will outline the necessary points for Japanese companies to create new earning power and aim for sustainable growth. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: January 29 (Wednesday) 13:30 - 15:30 (Doors open at 13:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minamiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Speaker: PwC Consulting LLC 　　　　Director 　　　　Mikiko Saito *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

Reflecting on nearly 40 years of experience in hospital design, we must ask ourselves what can be done now in response to the clearly different trends we are facing. This is the theme of this seminar. First, it is important to analyze the trends in construction costs since the COVID-19 pandemic and predict future movements. Next, we will discuss the necessary conditions for starting construction. To enhance the willingness of contractors to participate, we conducted a survey of construction companies and equipment subcontractors. Additionally, we will introduce examples from recent projects, including earthquake resistance, flood prevention, infection control, and fully private patient rooms. 【Seminar Details】 ■ Date and Time: January 23, 2025 (Thursday) 16:30 - 18:30 (Doors open at 16:00) ■ Venue: JPI Conference Square ■ Address: 5-2-32 Minamiazabu, Minato-ku, Tokyo, Kowa Hiroo Building ■ Speaker: Kazuyuki Murodono, Director of Planning and Development, Medical Welfare and Education at Sato General Planning Co., Ltd. *For more details, please refer to the PDF document or feel free to contact us.

• Technical Seminar

Our company will hold a business seminar. In recent years, as the manufacturing costs of various products have increased, there has been a growing interest in improving the productivity of manufacturing processes in corporate activities. Additionally, with the evolution and proliferation of artificial intelligence, manufacturing technologies utilizing AI have developed, and there has been a trend of increasing related patent applications. Furthermore, there is a tendency for contract manufacturing companies (EMS/CDMO) that specialize in product manufacturing to become more widespread. To leverage such manufacturing technologies in business activities, the establishment of a patent strategy is essential. In other words, understanding the trends in patent applications and determining what patents to acquire and how to utilize them are important challenges. In particular, by acquiring and utilizing broad and strong patents, manufacturing technologies can be maximally leveraged in business activities.
