CEO MESSAGE

As Japan faces a full-fledged demographic decline, various businesses are looking for ways to survive in overseas markets. In the midst of all this, there is one area where Japanese companies are still lagging behind. That is the overseas public and social infrastructure market.

In emerging and developing countries where economic growth is accelerating, there is a strong need for the development of public and social infrastructure such as roads, bridges, water supply and sewage systems, etc. In response to such needs, companies in France, Spain, South Korea, and other countries are proactively winning projects for public and social infrastructure in these countries through the Public Private Partnership (PPP) scheme.

Up until now, Japan has supported infrastructure development in Southeast Asia and other countries through Official Development Assistance (ODA). However, the current call is for private-sector investment, or PPP, rather than ODA that leads to government debt.The development of roads, bridges, water and sewage systems, which are essential to people's lives, requires high-quality infrastructure that contributes to the SDGs and climate change countermeasures by reducing CO2 emissions and energy consumption.Based on the knowledge gained from PPP projects in Ghana, Vietnam and other countries, Index Strategy will contribute as a leader in the development of public and social infrastructure overseas.

PHILOSOPHY

The History behind SHIKKAI

SHIKKAI is a term which originated in the Japanese kimono industry, to describe the individual who takes on the multiple roles of producer, creative director, as well as sales and production manager, to coordinate and manage approximately 40 processes involved in creating a kimono from a roll of cloth.

Japanese culture has treasured the co-existence with natural and social environments, and has nurtured the mindset for such a role.

For us at Index, SHIKKAI is the key concept for a corporate culture that respects people of various genders, age, race, culture, as well as regional and occupational differences.

SHIKKAI noun

Japanese-style project management; optimum resource allocation & management, and total coordination conducted with compassion, commitment, consideration and integrity.

STRENGTHS

As a project management firm, Index Strategy has the capability to comprehensively manage and develop each phase of a PPP project from project formation to commercialization. In addition to our project management, we have the ability to formulate an optimal SPC (Special Purpose Company) to team up Japanese and foreign investors, in accordance with characteristics and needs of each project. We also have the capability to structure an unsolicited project, which is a proposal made by a private entity, rather than from the government, to undertake and develop an infrastructure PPP project.
