In recent years, many Japanese companies have sought to expand their businesses overseas with the aim of acquiring local market share, and are therefore in need of overseas business support service for prior assessment of the business environment, implementation of M&A, and formulation of business strategies. With the contribution to the Fund together with Mizuho Bank Ltd., JBIC aims not only to strengthen the overseas business support service provided by Japanese financial institutions, but also to enhance the overseas business deployment of Japanese companies, by collaborating with a leading global investment firm.
