Central Japan Economic Federation
At present, Japan is facing accelerating population decline, along with labor shortages in regional areas caused by the overconcentration of people and industry in Tokyo. In addition, instability in the Middle East and the impact of U.S. tariff policies are creating uncertainty about the outlook for economic activity and people’s lives.
Even in these circumstances, to turn anxiety about the future into hope and to sustain economic growth, it is important to accurately grasp the trends of the times, set our course, and move decisively forward toward realizing a bright future for Central Japan.
Last year, the Central Japan Economic Federation formulated “Central Japan Vision 2050” as a compass indicating the irection the region should take with a view to society around 2050, and announced its Mid-Term Action Guidelines “ACTION2030”as a milestone along that path.
These guidelines are aligned with the national growth strategy and the regional future strategy, and this fiscal year we will continue to focus on steadily and persistently accomplishing the measures set in the guidelines.
In particular, we will advance efforts toward the smartification of the manufacturing industry through the simultaneous promotion of Digital Transformation and Green Transformation, as well as efforts toward the realization of carbon neutrality. We will also advance activities that contribute to the development of the next-generation mobility industry, the promotion of wide-area tourism, the promotion of open innovation centered on Nagoya Innovator’s Garage, the development and active participation of diverse human resources, and the development of resilient and attractive communities.
Our role as a wide-area economic organization is to pave the way toward enhancing the attractiveness and competitiveness of Central Japan through activities that connect industry, academia, government, financial institutions, and local communities in the region, and foster new initiatives and collaboration.
With our members as our source of power, we will continue to take on challenges as a federation that connects voices and strengths to achieve its goals.
We would like to ask for your continued support and cooperation.
