LJI and JETRO Vientiane Office Signed MOC to promote business collaboration between Laos and Japan.
On 25 May 2022, Laos-Japan Human Resource Development Institute (LJI) and Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO) Vientiane Office signed a Memorandum of Cooperation (MOC) for the purpose of promoting business between Lao and Japanese companies. Under this MOC, LJI and JETRO Vientiane Office have agreed to strengthen Lao companies including start-ups, and promote business relations with Japanese companies, which are expected to foster sustainable economic growth stimulated by the Lao government.
LJI and JETRO Vientiane Office plan to share information on Lao companies including start-ups with Japanese companies, inform JETRO-related events to Lao companies, and assist each other in organizing seminars and events that are held by either party, including the implementation of the LJI SUSU (start-up and scale-up) program for young people and entrepreneurs, which LJI launched in 2021.
Japanese companies will be able to strengthen their ties with high-quality Lao companies and start-ups through interaction with the member companies of Keiei-Juku Laos (KJL), which consists of Lao business leaders who have learned and adopted Japanese-style management, along with MBA program alumni and LJI SUSU participants. Business opportunities are expected to expand for the companies from both countries.
LJI will continue to work with the organizations and groups which share the same vision of "promoting sustainable economic growth in Laos" in order to enhance and enrich its services to Lao businesses and society in general.
LJI: Established in 2001 with Japanese Official Development Assistance (ODA), LJI is an institution of the National University of Laos (NUOL) to promote sustainable growth of society through the development of highly competent human resources. Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and The Japan Foundation (JF) support its operation. Following three fundamental pillars of (1) business human resource development, (2) Japanese language education, and (3) mutual understanding activities between Japan and Laos, LJI aims to function as a platform to create and nurture new values and activities such as business linkage and university exchange between the two countries, by utilizing know-how and expertise from its two decades of operation.
