 Home to outstanding human resourcesThe roots of Kyushu’s strong manufacturing culture began in ancient times when the island absorbed influences from continental cultures and became a leader in the Japanese ceramics industry. And complementing that, one of Kyushu’s main attractions is surely our outstanding human resources, which include talented engineers who are devoted to study and research. For example, Toyota’s automobile production plant in Miyata, which provides technological guidance to other plants in Japan and around the world, has been called the best automobile plant anywhere in the world, both in terms of its technology and the quality of its staff. Numerous small and medium businesses that lead their fields on the global stage provide further evidence of Kyushu’s high level of technology and the outstanding personnel who have the skills to put it to effective use. |
| Promoting cooperation between industry and academia Kyushu’s culture has been open to the outside world and our people have been interacting with other parts of Asia since the beginning of recorded history. As a result, we have developed a nature that is eager to seek and take hold of opportunities. Businesses, academia and government agencies work together to cultivate highly skilled engineers and technicians who can advance IT and semiconductor development and manufacturing. They also support entrepreneurs who create new businesses, including venture enterprises and companies that work with other parts of Asia. In addition, Kyushu has the extensive educational resources and business incubation infrastructure needed to support these efforts. |
