Distinctive Industries in Kyushu~One of the leading automobile production bases in Japan~◆

Kyushu has developed as one of the leading automobile production bases inJapan, with a 15% share of national production. Four vehicle manufacturers arelocated in Kyushu, with a production capacity of approximately 1.54 million
vehicles per year.

◆

The clustering of related companies engaged in the manufacture and processingof automotive parts has progressed, and more than 1,200 related companies
have expanded their bases throughout Kyushu.

◆

Affected by the shortage of parts, including semiconductors, production of fourwheeled vehicles in Kyushu has declined for three consecutive years since FY
2019, but it increased to 1.22 million units (15.2% more than the previous year)
in FY 2022.

Distinctive Industries in Kyushu~Aiming to become the world center of advanced semiconductors for industry~◆

Since 1967, major electronics manufacturers have been moving to Kyushu, and efforts to foster local suppliers have led to the formation of"Silicon Island Kyushu.” Today, approximately 1,000 companies and offices are concentrated in Kyushu, which accounts for approximately
49% of Japan's share of integrated circuit (IC) production value (in FY2022).

◆

The Kyushu region is home to major companies that boast the world's leading market shares in CMOS image sensors, microcomputers forautomotive applications, and manufacturing equipment, as well as numerous small- and medium-sized companies that support thesecompanies and produce a wide variety of semiconductors.

◆

In FY2022, production continued at a high level due to rising global demand for semiconductors, with IC production exceeding 900 billion
yen for the first time in 15 years and semiconductor manufacturing equipment production reaching a record high of 513.7 billion yen.
Examples of major companies: Sony Semiconductor Manufacturing Corporation, Renesas Electronics Corporation,
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation Power Device Manufacturing Corporation, and Tokyo Electron Kyushu Ltd.

World Heritage Site in Kyushu (2)The Industrial Revolution of Meiji Japan: Iron and Steel Making, Shipbuilding, and the Coal Industry (1)◆ The "Industrial Revolution Heritage of Meiji Japan: Iron and Steel Making, Shipbuilding, and the Coal Industry" comprises 23
industrial sites that testify to the successful transfer of industrialization from the West to the non-Western world.
◆ They detail the great changes that took place in Japan's heavy industry and the industrialization of half a century that changed
the nation as well as the major changes that accompanied the opening of the country to the outside world, the Meiji
Restoration, and building a social system that trained people and embraced the Industrial Revolution in half a century.

Former Shuseikan (Kagoshima Prefecture)

Mietsu Naval Dock Site(Saga Prefecture)

Ruins of the Shuseikan Reverberatory Furnace. Concerned about
coastal defense, the Satsuma Clan wished to cast large ironcanons. With a Dutch technical manual in hand, they built
reverberatory furnaces themselves without any assistance fromforeign engineers. This is one of only three that remain of the 11
reverberatory furnaces built in Japan in the 1850s to cast cannons.
The Shuseikan Project tells the story of the Satsuma Clan’s trial
and error while experimenting in Western science.

The Mietsu Naval Dock was built in 1861 and is Japan’s
oldest remaining dock. It was excavated from 2009 to 2012.
The wooden framework of the front part of the building isfixed to the side pillars, and the entire structure, which
remains in perfect condition, is firmly supported by theinterior walls.

World Heritage Sites in Kyushu (3)The Industrial Revolution of Meiji Japan: Iron and Steel Making, Shipbuilding, and the Coal Industry (2)◆Japan was the first non-Western country to industrialize and be recognized as a modern nation on the world stage.
Through industrialization, the country's social and economic prospects were transformed, and its geopolitical position on
the world stage was secured.

◆

Its success was characterized by an aggressive process of introducing industrial technologies from the West, especiallyin heavy industries, such as iron and steel making, shipbuilding, and coal.

Hashima Island Coal Mine (Nagasaki Prefecture)
Hashima Island Coal Mine is located 3 km
southwest of Takashima, and like the Takashima
Coal Mine, it is is based on the Nishisonogi
submarine coal fields. The rocky islet was
surrounded by a fortress-like seawall to protect itfrom high waves. At its peak, Hashima Island was
the most densely populated community in the world.

Miike Coal Mine
(Fukuoka and Kumamoto Prefectures)
Miike Coal Mine was thesecond modern coal mine inJapan after the Takashima
Coal Mine. The mine
produced large quantities ofcoal, thanks to theintroduction of cutting-edge
British mining equipment,such as drainage andhoisting machines. In
addition, a dedicated railroad
was opened and the Port of
Miike was constructed to
improve logistical efficiency.
Related facilities of the mine,railroad, and port still exist.

1. Reasons/Inspiration for entering the market
When we were looking for a base in Japan to expand our business into East Asia, we were introduced to TEAM FUKUOKA bya Singapore government agency. Afterwards, the International Finance Ambassadors of Fukuoka City explained the details of
their support, and we were impressed by TEAM FUKUOKA's efforts to bring industry, academia, and government together. In
2022, our team including our Founder/Group CEO visited Fukuoka to learn more about the city. The decision to move to Fukuoka
was based on the overall attractiveness of the city, including its convenient access to other Asian countries, office rents, and the
housing, education, and food environment for employees and their families.

2. The support provided when entering the market
In the process of setting up the company, Fukuoka City, a member of TEAM FUKUOKA, provided us with a wide range of
information on the local area, from real estate to international schools, etc., and introduced us to local companies. The JETRO
Singapore office also provided various kinds of support for establishing a Japanese subsidiary, including explanations of thefinancial differences between Japan and Singapore to the finance and general affairs staff of the parent company. With ourbusiness presence in Japan, we are now assured that we can always get answers by contacting Fukuoka City, the Global FinanceCenter (a one-stop support counter specializing in international finance), or JETRO Fukuoka, if we have any questions.

3. Future prospects
TEAM FUKUOKA has a system in place to support businesses through collaborations with the government, economic
organizations, and businesses, etc. In October 2023, with the cooperation of related companies, including the Fukuoka Stock
Exchange, we began a feasibility study on the introduction of a securities trading solution developed by us for the stock exchange.
We are also in discussions with the government and transportation authorities to create a service environment that enables smoothpayments for foreign visitors to Japan.
We are currently applying for relevant licence to expand our business and provide clients with a wide range of solutions.

Investment Case (2)Nexperia Oita R&D Center
Focusing on senior engineers with long careers insemiconductor-related industries, the company established
an R&D center in Oita City to develop products that takeadvantage of the network of local companies that senior
engineers have developed.

URL:https://www.nexperia.com/

Established: December 2021
Location: Oita City
Business activities: Semiconductor
product development
Number of employees: 6

1. Reasons/Inspiration for entering the market
Since 2017, we have a sales office in Tokyo as our Japan branch, and we have decided to establish R&D centersin Oita and Osaka to strengthen product development in Japan. Oita Prefecture is home to one of the largest
concentrations of semiconductor-related industries in Japan. We chose Oita Prefecture because we believed that
we would be able to secure excellent human resources, including a generation who have built up their careers asengineers, at the right time for U-turns and mid-career job changes that match their life stages.

2. The support provided when entering the market
Since the premise was to expand into Oita Prefecture, we decided to establish the center in Oita City, where wefound a property that met our needs. Our plan of hiring graduating students from Oita University was also a driving
force in our decision to locate to Oita City.
Subsequently, we received a property referral from the Oita Prefectural Government, and we relocated our officein December 2022. If local hiring continues to proceed smoothly, we plan to be eligible for Oita Prefecture's subsidy
to promote the attraction of Oita Prefecture to other companies.

3. Future prospects
The goal of the Oita R&D Center is to expand our product line by developing power management ICs and otherproducts. We have development bases in the Netherlands, the U.S., and China. Oita is special because there areseveral companies that can help us with testing and analysis at the prototype stage. This is another initiative thattakes advantage of the network of local companies that our senior engineers have developed.
We plan to focus on training young and mid-career engineers and have hired a graduate from Oita University fortwo consecutive years. Also, some mid-career employees have changed jobs to come and work under our skilled
senior engineers. We intend to develop this center while passing on skills and connections to the next generation.

4. Kyushu's attractiveness(A view of the Nexperia Oita R&D
Center)Being able to work while surrounded by Kyushu's rich nature is extremely important for engineers in terms of maintaining their mental and physicalhealth. In fact, personnel working in semiconductor-related industries in Oita Prefecture have a high retention rate, and excellent personnel are scatteredthroughout the region, making it easy to network. I feel that Kyushu is a place where it is easy to achieve a work-life balance and where the time-and27
location-independent work style introduced during the coronavirus pandemic still exists.
