Kyushu Economy International

Kyushu Economy International (KEI) was established with the goal of revitalizing Kyushu and fostering its sustainable growth through partnerships among diverse stakeholders, including economic entities, local authorities, and private enterprises.

It serves as a pivotal platform for fostering exchanges in industry, tourism, and interpersonal connections between Kyushu and its domestic and international counterparts.

Acting as a comprehensive hub for global economic interactions within Kyushu, KEI actively promotes the region's appealing assets, such as its thriving industrial landscape and rich tourist attractions, to a global audience. This concerted effort not only attracts both domestic and foreign businesses to invest in Kyushu but also stimulates the emergence of new industries through collaborative exchanges.

Ultimately, KEI contributes to the holistic development of the region by fostering a well-balanced approach to regional growth.Sumio Kuratomi
