Kyushu Economic Research Center　
　- A history along with the economic developments of Kyushu, Okinawa, and Yamaguchi region

The Kyushu Economic Research Center (abbreviation:Kyu-Kei-Cho) was established in 1946 with the cooperation of industry-academia-government with the purpose to contribute to the nation’s development. The Kyushu Economic Research Center conducts research and studies, creates policies and conducts operations related to the economic industry in the Kyushu, Okinawa, and Yamaguchi region.Since April 2013, under the Specified Public-Service Promotion Corporation of the Ministry of Education authorization, we were re-established as an authorized Public Interest Incorporated Foundation from the Cabinet Office. However, our principles have not changed for over the past 70 years.

A base for the exchange of the production, accumulation, and exchange of wisdom

For a long time, survey studies, research reports, and publications related to the economic society, mainly of Kyushu, Okinawa, and Yamaguchi regions, have been utilized as a “production of wisdom” for regional reconstructions.The “accumulation of wisdom” of economic resources collected from within and outside of Japan; the “exchange of wisdom”by holding lectures and seminars.At the Kyushu Economic Research Center, we provide a variety of services and activities as a rare information hub of western Japan with the combination of 3 functions.

What is a “Public Interest” Incorporated Foundation

We have been recognized as a corporation for having high public awareness amongst other foundations. For contributions made to our corporation, the upper limit of debts-against-income will be increased, and for individuals, contribution deductions will apply.Contributions made will be utilized, based on the “Regulations for accepting contributions”, to activities that make contributions to the regional society, such as proposing policies that will pave the way for Kyushu’s future, through our research.
