While socioeconomic activities are normalizing during recovery from the Covid-19 pandemic, infl麻雀 5ch and monetary tightening measures taken by each country are among the factors which threaten to slow the global economy. In Japan, there are unresolved pre-pandemic structural issues, such as popul麻雀 5ch decline combined with the falling birthrate and the aging popul麻雀 5ch, and regional revitaliz麻雀 5ch issues, and economic growth is sluggish.
In addition to promoting a smooth structural transition of economic society to overcome current problems, it is important to put the economy of Central Japan and the country on a
higher growth path toward the future.
The Central Japan Economic Feder麻雀 5ch, known as Chukeiren, features the three “cre麻雀 5ch” goals―cre麻雀 5ch of added value, cre麻雀 5ch of human capital, and cre麻雀 5ch of a region full of charm, which are set forth in the Chubu Economic Feder麻雀 5ch Mid-Term Action Guidelines, ACTION 2025. These guidelines were established in June 2021 to cover the years up to 2025. Chukeiren is advancing activities to improve regional strength through the cooper麻雀 5ch of industry, academia, government, and local areas.
Building on its activities thus far, Chukeiren will accelerate its efforts to help Central Japan make a leap by further specifying the target activities.
One such target is our focus on regional revitaliz麻雀 5ch. Important factors are the form麻雀 5ch of a Super Mega Region, and the form麻雀 5ch of next-gener麻雀 5ch travel and transport industries resulting from the opening of the Linear Chuo Shinkansen. Also a part of our mission are the realiz麻雀 5ch of a carbon neutral society, the activ麻雀 5ch of innov麻雀 5ch, and the development of an environment where diverse human resources can prove themselves. We pay particular attention to these themes. Additionally, considering that we are now at a major turning point in social and economic trends, Chukeiren will identify Central Japan’s future direction, and will consider and develop activities to make it a reality.
As a wide-area general economic organiz麻雀 5ch, the role of Chukeiren is to connect local stakeholders and regional resources to develop and expand their potential and contribute to added value for the region.
Chukeiren will contribute to the sustainable development of Central Japan, as well as that of Japan, through collabor麻雀 5ch and co-cre麻雀 5ch with stakeholders. Your support and cooper麻雀 5ch would be very much appreciated.

Activities Related to Economic Policies and Social and Economic Systems
The overseas economic deleg麻雀 5ch’s visit to a major incubator facility in France
Every year, Chukeiren, keeping abreast of sweeping social and economic trends, conducts research, makes recommend麻雀 5chs, and disseminates inform麻雀 5ch about economic policies and social and economic systems focused on important issues for Central Japan.
In 2022, Chukeiren published recommend麻雀 5chs titled “Toward sustainable economic development through social implement麻雀 5ch and the promotion of intern麻雀 5chal standardiz麻雀 5ch―contribution to economic security.”
In 2023, based on the recognition that the global trend is at a turning point following the COVID-19 pandemic, Chukeiren keeps in mind a Visionary Policy, which describes what Central Japan should become in the future.
In addition, Chukeiren publishes a statement every year requesting the government to implement a revision to the tax麻雀 5ch system that would support industrial development in Central Japan and empower regional promotion.
Chukeiren remains aware that the global situ麻雀 5ch continues to grow more complex and uncertain. To contribute to the enhancement of global competitiveness, Chukeiren is offering lectures covering the latest situ麻雀 5chs overseas and conducting related studies and discussions. In addition, Chukeiren is working to strengthen collabor麻雀 5ch with domestic and foreign intern麻雀 5chal organiz麻雀 5chs, such as conducting exchange programs with them. In 2022, Chukeiren dispatched an overseas economic deleg麻雀 5ch to three cities in France and Spain (Paris, Barcelona, Bilbao), resulting in lively and fruitful exchanges of inform麻雀 5ch with local companies and government agencies about startup, innov麻雀 5ch, urban planning, community building, and energy situ麻雀 5chs.

Realiz麻雀 5ch of a Carbon Neutral Society
Recommend麻雀 5chs on the construction of a hydrogen supply chain were developed to request the cooper麻雀 5ch of municipalities, and a promotion council was established and reorganized as a result.
To realize a carbon neutral society, it will be important to utilize hydrogen and ammonia in conjunction with expanding renewable energy sources.
As a participant in the Central Japan Hydrogen and Ammonia Social Implement麻雀 5ch Promotion Council, which consists of local municipalities and companies, Chukeiren devised the Central Japan Hydrogen and Ammonia Supply Chain Vision in March 2023. Central Japan is an industrial hub that contains a large number of companies, specialists in industries from manufacturing to logistics. Chukeiren will support them by working to help implement a large-scale hydrogen and ammonia supply chain ahead of other regions in Japan, in cooper麻雀 5ch with industry, academia, and government.

Improving Convenience through the Development and Maintenance of Social Infrastructure
Chubu Centrair Intern麻雀 5chal Airport (Provided by Central Japan Intern麻雀 5ch- al Airport Company, Limited)
Monozukuri (manufacturing) drives the Japanese economy, and Central Japan contributes greatly to this. However, infrastructure such as roads and ports is still under construction, and further promotion of development is needed. Chukeiren has conducted surveys and studies on the need for infrastructure development in Central Japan and optimal approaches to this, and is promoting activities designed to realize the Vision for the Transport麻雀 5ch Network in Central Japan, which was published in March 2022.
For Chubu Centrair Intern麻雀 5chal Airport (Centrair), its function as an intern麻雀 5chal hub airport that connects Central Japan to the rest of the world needs to be further enhanced.
Chukeiren is promoting the construction of a second runway with a view to responding to future air travel demands, attaining full 24-hour oper麻雀 5ch, and handling large-scale runway repairs. In December 2021, a Concept for the Future of Centrair was compiled with local governments. In this plan, a large-scale repair of the current runway will be carried out in two stages. In the first stage, an alternative runway within the airport site will be developed. In the second stage, a new runway will be developed on reclaimed land as a future solution. In addition to promoting the use of the airport and providing support in a variety of issues, Chukeiren supports local organiz麻雀 5chs in lobbying central government.
In 2020, Chukeiren established the Logistics Round-table Discussions (now the Logistics Committee), to create a vision for 2030 of the advancement of logistics in Central Japan, to identify current issues, and to summarize measures and actions leading to this goal. The committee conducts surveys and studies from different viewpoints, including those of shippers and logistics operators.
Building N麻雀 5chal Resilience to Improve Safety and Security
Prepar麻雀 5ch for large-scale disasters, including a Nankai Trough earthquake, is an urgent issue. Chukeiren holds lectures with themes that are highly useful for its members with a view to promoting measures to prevent and reduce disasters. In addition, Chukeiren actively works in cooper麻雀 5ch with related organiz麻雀 5chs in rel麻雀 5ch to making requests to lobbying the n麻雀 5chal government.
In FY2022, eight economic feder麻雀 5chs (from Hokkaido, Tohoku, Hokuriku, Central Japan, Kansai, Chugoku, Shikoku, Kyushu) jointly lobbied for a Tax麻雀 5ch Program for N麻雀 5chal Resilience Building, which helped expand and extend the tax麻雀 5ch system. It aimed to encourage investments by small and medium-sized enterprises in disaster prevention and mitig麻雀 5ch (earthquake-resistant equipment). Chukeiren also followed up and assessed the current position on the recommend麻雀 5chs in the May 2019 public麻雀 5ch, “For minimizing the impact of a Nankai Trough earthquake, etc. on the business communities of Central Japan” Chukeiren confirmed that infrastructure development was making steady progress, and encouraged continued efforts. Moving forward, Chukeiren will provide support for strengthening the disaster preparedness of each company for major events such as a potentially devastating Nankai Trough earthquake, as well as helping to improve the effectiveness of the Business Continuity Plan, including supply chains.
Strengthening Cooper麻雀 5ch with Members and Economic Organiz麻雀 5chs
Chukeiren holds local member round-table discussions and lectures with up-to-date themes as necessary to strengthen cooper麻雀 5ch with its members. In addition, Chukeiren publishes a newsletter, “CHUKEIREN,” sends out email newsletters, regularly publishes “Collection of Basic Data for Central Japan” and “ Monthly Economic Survey Report”, conducts and publishes questionnaires regarding the business situ麻雀 5ch, and implements other measures to enhance member service.
