91ÁÔÆæ

On November 20, 91ÁÔÆæ and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) signed an agreement to promote further cooperation in international academic research, human resource development, and industry-university collaboration.

91ÁÔÆæ and JETRO have been promoting cooperation in the area of international industry-academia collaboration for some time, but the two institutions will now work together to promote broader and more multifaceted cooperation to address international issues, such as the support of university-launched emerging companies and the development of global human resources.

In his opening remarks, Chairman of JETRO Mr. Nobuhiko Sasaki said, ¡°We would like to support the international expansion of 91ÁÔÆæ through the JETRO¡¯s overseas network and strengthen the partnership so that Hiroshima can become a catalyst for innovation, bringing researchers and businesses from around the world to 91ÁÔÆæ.¡±

In response, 91ÁÔÆæ President Mitsuo Ochi commented, ¡°Next fall, we will start accepting students at the Arizona State University/91ÁÔÆæ Global Campus, and we aim to collaborate extensively with the local community, government, and universities in and outside of Japan, through our international exchange base facility. I hope that JETRO and 91ÁÔÆæ will continue to work together to promote innovation and revitalization.¡±
