| Pacific Resource
Exchange Center (PREX) was established in Osaka in April 1990 thanks to cooperation
and consensus among industrial, academic and public sectors in Kansai area. Our
aim is mainly to assist fostering human resources to promote development of developing
countries in Asia Pacific region. Another aim of PREX is to vitalize international
mutual human exchange in Kansai area and to deepen mutual understanding through
our activities for human resources development.
20 years have passed
since PREX was established. Our organization has got into smooth water and has
been developing steadily by the support and cooperation of all parties concerned.
Therefore we are likely to be highly appreciated internationally.
The
location is certainly an advantage: we could plan a wide range of seminars because
Kansai is the base for many good companies. Also noteworthy is the fact that many
of these companies are relatively small but make excellent businesses. This is
one of the reasons why our region attracts a great deal of attention from developing
countries.
Countries we have assisted so far in the past 20 years exceed
126 countries/regions and fostering middle
management executives to which we give priority has numbered more than 13,000
in total. The world is rapidly changing, driven by the technological progress
in such fields as information technology and biotechnology. However, whatever
the circumstances, the importance of human resources development will never change
for the development of countries.
There are great hopes towards our
future activities from Asia Pacific developing countries. In order to comply with
such expectation, we endeavor to develop new curriculums in conformity with times
and keep evolving.
We recognize that our activities contribute to prosperity
of developing countries and as a result contribute to maintaining the world peace.
So we are proud to go forward for the fulfillment of our tasks. We sincerely ask
your particular cooperation and assistance in future. | |
