ITPO Tokyo
Africa is now increasingly attracting the attentionof Japanese companies seeking diversified business
opportunities. We would like to enable our expertise and
UNIDO’s network of contacts to help foster new businesses
in the continent. In this respect, we have also strengthened
our presence in Western Africa by appointing a new advisor
in Senegal, who joins our existing advisors in Algeria,
Ethiopia, and Mozambique.

Message from the Head
Dear Readers,
The year 2019 was memorable for our organization, as
we accelerated investment and technology promotion
programmes with a special focus on Africa. The Seventh
Tokyo International Conference on African Development(TICAD7) held in August 2019 in Yokohama provided us with
an opportunity to undertake various activities, such as thepromotion of African countries’ investment environments,
business matching between Japanese and Africancompanies, and the promotion of unique and innovative
Japanese technologies to address environmental issues andsectoral needs in Africa, to name a few. Such activities were
not only held during TICAD7, but also before and after the
event.
At TICAD7, we organized no less than nine seminars and side
events attracting more than 1,000 participants. We focusedon B2Bs and B2Gs, by holding business matching events
between African and Japanese companies and government
representatives. These events alone resulted in 364 businessnegotiations that are being followed up. Please refer toPages 14-15 of this report to learn more.

In addition to Africa, we have also been focusing on
enhancing the registration of unique Japanese technologies
on our Sustainable Technology Promotion Platform (STePP),
and also undertaking other area programmes, includingorganizing specialized business matching events in Japan for
countries such as Bangladesh, Fiji, Pakistan, and Uzbekistan
in Asia and Pacific, and Argentine in Latin America.
In 2019, we also had the privilege to welcome our Director
General LI Yong to Japan on two occasions, once for bilateral
consultations and promotion in April and again during
TICAD7 in August where he met with Japanese and African
leaders.
Since our establishment in 1981, we have been facilitating
B2B and B2G meetings and follow-up activities to bridge
Japanese investors and technology holders with markets indeveloping and emerging countries, under the neutralityof the United Nations. These are our key functions. Thanks
to the cooperation of all stakeholders, we have been able
to contribute to important projects in various parts of theworld every year and we are proud of our achievements.
We highly value the attention and support rendered by all
stakeholders and look forward to undertaking exciting new
projects and activities going forward in 2020, and welcome
your enquiries.
