Innovative Disaster Prevention Technology from Kochi Prefecture, Japan

Japan can be considered a world leader in disaster prevention thanks to its centuries-long experience in dealing with earthquakes, tsunamis and floods. In particular, Kochi Prefecture, an area located on the southern coast of Shikoku Island, is not only famous for its natural landscape but is also known as one of the localities with a lot of experience and expertise in disaster prevention solutions and products. Enterprises in KOCHI Prefecture have developed many products with advanced technology and highly applicable designs, many of which can be practically applied in similar conditions in Vietnam, such as:

Early warning and disaster monitoring solutions: products such as water level warning systems, landslide level measurement and warning systems, with real-time data transmission technology and compact, flexible design, will be useful tools to help Vietnam enhance its response capacity in areas prone to flash floods or landslides in the northern and central mountainous regions.

Disaster-resistant construction materials, equipment and structures can be effective solutions in low-lying areas and infrastructure areas that are frequently affected by flooding or at risk of landslides due to storms and floods, with typical products such as precast earth retaining walls, concrete anti-stripping reinforcement mesh, vacuum consolidation technical solutions using biodegradable materials to improve weak ground, etc.

The group of water and environmental treatment technology solutions with products such as self-propelled amphibious dredgers, underwater pollution prevention fences, domestic water filtration systems, etc. are effective solutions to ensure clean water sources and environmental sanitation, and limit epidemics after natural disasters.

In addition, various solutions to support people in coping with natural disasters such as solar-powered warning lights, directional signs, small turbine generators, emergency backpacks, disaster food storage, etc. can actively support emergency relief work or be widely applied in many different contexts.

Vietnam-Kochi Cooperation: Opportunities and Potentials for Vietnamese Enterprises

Vietnam is a country with unique terrain and climate, often facing storms, floods, and extreme weather events. Therefore, the opportunity to cooperate with KOCHI enterprises in many fields, especially in products and solutions for natural disaster prevention and other environmental and industrial solutions, will open up many practical benefits. Advanced products and solutions from Japan will help Vietnam improve its ability to respond to and minimize damage caused by natural disasters, while always ensuring the criteria of sustainability and environmental friendliness.

Currently, Kochi prefecture enterprises are very interested in building international partnerships, especially with organizations and enterprises in Vietnam. Forms of cooperation may include developing business partners in the Vietnamese market, directly providing products and services, transferring technology and technical training to provide solutions suitable to local conditions, coordinating product research and development, etc.

Besides the field of disaster prevention, Vietnamese companies can explore opportunities to connect with Kochi businesses as potential suppliers, cooperation partners or processing customers in other sectors such as industrial and agricultural machinery and equipment, civil construction and infrastructure, environmental machinery, paper and wood products and other products and services.

With the desire to provide comprehensive support to connect Kochi companies with potential partners in the Vietnamese market, from 2024, the Kochi Vietnam Support Desk has been established and operated by B&Company Vietnam, under the authorization and sponsorship of the Kochi Industrial Promotion Center – Japan.

Vietnamese businesses interested in partnering with Kochi companies can directly contact Kochi Vietnam Support Desk to share their partnership goals and explore valuable collaboration opportunities in relevant sectors.
