Supporting Policy Formulation Abroad

The world currently faces a wide range of societal issues, while at the same time the number of issues shared between multiple countries is increasing. At the Mitsubishi Research Institute (MRI), we strive to resolve societal issues around the world, identifying the issues faced by individual countries, applying the knowledge we have gained through policy formation in Japan, and making use of our network of Japanese corporations on a global level.

Overview of Our Services

Through years of experience in working with the Japanese government, MRI has developed broad knowledge in fields such as environment & energy, food & agriculture, infrastructure, and healthcare. We make use of this expert knowledge along with our network of technologically capable Japanese corporations to provide sound support to countries around the world in resolving their societal issues.

MRI is capable of taking on projects abroad from foreign governments, as well as projects implemented through the Japanese government. With a network of Japanese corporations and knowledge of their needs when expanding abroad, MRI acts as a bridge between Japanese corporations and governments abroad, stimulating industries both domestically and abroad by drafting and implementing foreign governments’ strategies to attract Japanese investment.
