The Asia Business Promotion Center is an arm of the Toyama New Industry Organization that assists companies in Toyama Prefecture to go abroad and helps them find overseas business partners.
The initiative was established in 1993 with the aim of promoting economic exchanges with countries in Northeast Asia (it was originally established as Toyama Prefecture's Northwest Pacific Region Trade Center).
Currently, we provide useful trade and investment services, such as information provision and consulting, to help Toyama companies expand in Asia and other parts of the world. We also work closely with overseas companies and agencies, and have been involved in organizing international trade fairs in the prefecture since 1999.
In liaison and cooperation with Toyama Prefecture and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO), we strive to become a bridge between local companies and overseas companies through various initiatives.

Toyama New Industry Organization

The Toyama New Industry Organization was established in April 2001 to provide efficient and integrated support for industries in Toyama Prefecture by merging three official organizations; the Toyama Technology Development Organization, the Toyama Small and Medium Business Promotion Organization and the Toyama Industry Information Center.

In October 2004, two new centers were established; the Industry Academia and Government Cooperation Promotion Center and the Northwest Pacific Region Economic Center, in response to the intensifying global competition among companies and the rapid progress of technological innovation in recent years.

Now, as of April 1, 2018, the Toyama New Industry Organization consists of three centers; the Innovation Promotion Center, the Small and Medium Enterprises Support Center, and the Asia Business Promotion Center.
