Niihama City, Ehime Prefecture · REGIONAL DX & JAPAN–INDIA HUB

From Ehime to India.
From India to Ehime.

VE-TRI has opened a branch in Niihama, Ehime Prefecture, as a “Japan–India Business Support HUB,” connecting regional digital transformation, talent, IT, and global expansion.

WHY EHIME / WHY NIIHAMA

Why we are building a base in Ehime and Niihama

VE-TRI is not a company that looks only at Tokyo and Osaka. We want to stand in the same place as regional businesses, see the same problems and solve them together. Niihama, in Ehime Prefecture, is where we chose to start.

Niihama is one of Shikoku's leading manufacturing cities, facing the Seto Inland Sea, with a dense cluster of manufacturers and a strong shop-floor culture. At the same time it shares the challenges of many regional cities: a shortage of IT talent, slow starts to digital transformation, and few connections to overseas markets.

We believe that connecting technically strong regional companies with India's deep pool of IT capability and business opportunity creates new value. That is why we position the Ehime / Niihama Branch as a junction between regional DX and Japan–India business.

A manufacturing city

Manufacturers and their partners cluster in Niihama — the field where the value of DX shows most clearly.

A gateway to Shikoku

From Ehime to the rest of Shikoku and the Seto Inland Sea region — a starting point for cross-regional support.

A place to live

Surrounded by sea and mountains, with a calm cost of living — a foundation for international talent to settle and work long-term.

Population decline

Both the regional workforce and the customer base are shrinking over the long term.

Young people leaving for major cities

Young people leave for university and jobs, and there are few roles to bring them back.

DX is hard to get moving

Companies often don't know where to start, or assume it requires a large investment.

Shortage of skilled and IT talent

Many companies have no in-house IT staff, and those they hire are hard to retain.

Access to overseas markets

Interest in going abroad exists, but there is no practical route to local information or partners.

Few connections with India and the world

Regional companies have almost no touchpoints with India's growing market or its IT talent.

VE-TRI’S MISSION

Beyond the big cities, into the regions.
From the regions, across Japan.
From the regions, to the world

VE-TRI works inside regional companies to understand their real problems, then combines regional DX, IT, AI and cloud, talent, offshore development, Japan–India business, overseas expansion, trade and people exchange to solve them.

We are an IT company, but we are also a business company: we have run trading, e-commerce and business consulting ourselves. That is why we propose DX for the business, not DX for the technology.

—— LOCAL DX

Right-sized digital transformation for regional businesses

DX does not have to start with a big investment. Try something small first, confirm the work actually gets better, then scale according to real business value. That is how VE-TRI works.

1

Listen to the problem
We sit down with owners and front-line staff to sort out what hurts most. Tools come later.

2

Test with a small PoC
One process, one team — something whose effect can be confirmed in a few weeks.

3

Improve the operation
What works is embedded into daily operations, with VE-TRI staying on for operation and maintenance.

4

Scale with proven value
To other departments, sites and group companies — drawing on our India development capacity when the moment calls for it.

—— OFFSHORE IT SUPPORT

Japan → Ehime → India
A delivery model that runs through Ehime

IT work from Ehime and across Japan is received and coordinated by the Ehime / Niihama Branch, then delivered together with our development team in India. That is the model VE-TRI is building.

This is not outsourcing because it's cheap. VE-TRI in Japan remains responsible for customer communication, requirements, project management, quality and delivery governance. India provides scalable technical and development capability.

—— JAPAN–INDIA BUSINESS SUPPORT HUB

Supporting Ehime and Japanese companies going into India

India is a global growth market in population, economy and IT. For regional companies, though, reliable information, trustworthy partners and a way to communicate on the ground are all hard to come by. With operations and hands-on experience in both countries, VE-TRI walks with you from the very first step.

Market research & partner search
India market research, partner search, company introductions and business matching.

Market entry & local communication
Support in meetings and negotiations on the ground, entry planning and business development.

IT partners & offshore teams
Finding IT partners in India and setting up and running a dedicated offshore team.

Trading support
Drawing on our own trading and e-commerce experience, we support import, export and channel-building at a practical level.

Local presence & operations
Through our group company HISSYO Consultancy in India, we support sustained activity on the ground.

A step-by-step approach
Start with information and consultation, begin small, and expand investment once you are confident.

—— INDIA → EHIME / SHIKOKU / JAPAN

Helping Indian companies enter Japan through Ehime

This is not a one-way street. Indian companies interested in Japan can meet the Japanese market through Ehime and Shikoku — and VE-TRI builds that route too.

Japan market entry
Matching with Japanese companies — especially in Ehime and Shikoku — arranging business meetings and supporting entry planning.

Technology & IT collaboration
Introducing Indian technology, products and services to regional Japanese companies and turning introductions into joint work.

Japanese business culture
Business customs, expectations around quality and communication — what it takes to earn trust in Japan.

Local business development
End-to-end support for building a business in Japan from an Ehime base — presence, operations and people.

For Indian companies, Japan is not only large corporations in Tokyo. Partnering with technically strong regional companies is a steady way to build a track record in Japan.

FUTURE VISION

Addressing population decline and talent shortages through business collaboration.

As a private company, we aim to contribute to our community through our business activities. We support the digital transformation of local businesses, create new jobs, attract talent and companies from overseas, and open pathways for local businesses to expand into global markets. Together, these efforts form our response to the pressing challenges of population decline and workforce shortages.

New jobs and new people

More IT and business professionals working in Ehime — filling shortages while creating options for younger people to come back.

New business inflow

Through collaboration with Indian companies and support for their entry into Japan, we bring new business and investment to the region.

Lasting Ehime–India exchange

Student exchange, internships and professional development build people-to-people ties that last beyond a single project.

From the region to the world

Ehime companies taking on overseas markets without leaving Ehime — with the information, people and technology to do it.

VE-TRI aims to contribute as a private-sector partner through its business activity, in continued dialogue with regional companies, organizations, educational institutions and public bodies.
