Nagamasa Co., Ltd. Receives Commendation from the Regent of Karangasem, Bali; Strengthens Cooperation through Talent Circulation

Nagamasa Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yachiyo City, Chiba Prefecture; Representative Director: Masahiro Nagashima) held a discussion with I Gusti Putu Parwata, S.E., the Regent of Karangasem, Bali, Indonesia. The company was honored with a commendation for its contributions to the operation of the 'SGDP' Japanese language school in the region and the promotion of economic exchange with Japan. During the meeting, they reached an agreement to build a 'talent circulation model,' where young people sent to Japan under the Specified Skilled Worker program acquire advanced Japanese technical skills and return to Karangasem to address local infrastructure challenges, such as water issues.

Background of the Award: Evaluating Education and Economic Exchange Beyond Language Our company operates the 'SGDP' Japanese language school in Bali, providing not only language education but also practical training and cross-cultural understanding necessary for success in Japan. The positive impact of our group-wide efforts to promote economic exchange with Japan on the local community was recognized, leading to this prestigious award from the Regent.

Vision for Collaboration: Solving Infrastructure Issues with Japanese Technology The people of Karangasem value connections with others and the joy of living in the present over material wealth, possessing high vitality. During the discussion, the Regent shared his strong concern regarding infrastructure, particularly the 'water problem,' and his desire to improve the region. In response, we presented our proposal for concrete collaboration with Japan, focusing on the 'talent circulation model' where youth return to apply their acquired skills to local problem-solving.

Comments from I Gusti Putu Parwata, S.E. The Regent expressed deep empathy for our proposal, stating, 'This is the vision necessary for the development of our region.' We will continue to deepen our cooperation with the administration to realize this vision.

Future Outlook: Continuous Regional Contribution As part of our community-rooted activities, Nagamasa Co., Ltd. will host a booth at a local festival in Karangasem on June 22, 2026. We will continue to act as a bridge between Japan and Indonesia, maximizing the potential of young people and promoting sustainable development and regional contribution for both countries.
