We hosted a training group from Uzbekistan’s state-owned bank, Xalq Bank, a private bank, Trast Bank, and an insurance agency affiliated with Xalq Bank. The training program was conducted with the cooperation of JICA Uzbekistan Center and Relo Excel Co., Ltd., and received high praise from the group members for the selection of training destinations and the content of the training.

The participants visited Kansai Cultural and Academic Research City Promotion Organization (Keihanna), Osaka Business Development Agency, Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Toyota Financial Services, commercial bank head office, Japan Finance Corporation, JICA, NTT Data, microfinance company, etc., and gained valuable experience by learning about examples of regional revitalization promotion projects in Japan, small and medium-sized enterprise support policies and examples, and KAIZEN methods for banking operations.

EBRD (European Bank for Reconstruction and Development) sent a delegate of Kyrgyz recycle business for a matching trip to Japan in May, and Truspire received them.  We made such plans for the delegate to visit N-Expo and meet Japanese exhibitors, recycle companies, recycle shops, as they can get up-dated info about the private business counterparts.  Public organizations such as Japan Containers and Packaging Recycle Corporation, Global Environment Dept. of JICA (Japan International Cooperation Agency), and Yokohama Municipality Office with its waste processing factory welcomed them, prepared unique materials, and gave seminars for them.  The delegates were grateful for those opportunities.

We are pleased to know business matching dialogues have already been started between the delegate companies and their Japanese counterparts.

With Covid-19 pandemic gradually coming under control, our human resources development assistance contracts have been back to on-site engagements – after the 2 years and a half of on-line jobs. We are engaged in our roles in the business courses at the Japan Centers in Kyrgyz, Uzbekistan, Laos, Myanmar, providing business trainings in production plans, business plans, management strategies and marketing. We helped the management of Xalq Bank (People’s Bank) https://www.xalqbank.az/en/ , the national bank, get the ideas of strategy, critical success factors and introduction of kaizen.

In Kyrgyz, our consultant talked and showed kaizen in the factory of Kulikovskiy https://kulikov.com/ , the country’s leading confectionery.  He also gave the management advice on building the company’s new factory.
