Background: Growing Interest in International Cooperation as a "Next Market" for Proprietary Technologies

Large-scale disasters due to climate change, increasing geopolitical tensions, supply chain disruptions, and anxieties about energy and resource supply. The development challenges faced by developing countries are now directly linked to business opportunities for Japanese companies. JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency) is the implementing agency for Japan's development assistance, managing ODA projects worth hundreds of billions of yen annually. There are numerous opportunities for private companies to be involved in areas such as infrastructure development, technology transfer, and equipment procurement. On the other hand, procurement tends to emphasize track record, and many companies hesitate to enter the market despite recognizing the business opportunities.

Webinar Content: Practical Explanation of the First Step to Entering ODA

This webinar will provide a concrete explanation of where and how private companies can engage, based on an overview of JICA's four main schemes (Yen Loans / Technical Cooperation / Grant Aid / Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteers).

1 Overview of JICA's Operations and Four Schemes... Grasping the opportunities for participation

2 Flow from Project Formation to Bidding... Participation in F/S (Feasibility Study) and Detailed Design Studies

3 The First Step Starting from Zero Bidding Experience... How to build relationships with JICA

4 The Concept of Involvement from the Project Formation Stage... Long-term positioning strategy to track projects over years
