Lectures and Seminars

We provide lectures and training for companies, schools, ministries, and municipalities.

How do we face social issues and what can we achieve as an organization and with whom?
Based in Senegal, Africa, SUCRECUBE Japon Inc. has co-created an infrastructure using solar power and ICT in an area that had no electricity or telecommunications, building a foundation for life and learning in the health and education field.

At the same time, in collaboration with Japanese companies, we have developed a model for solving social issues as a business that links the refrigeration, processing, and sales systems to the local economy. In addition, we have worked to build trust and institutional collaboration with local ministries and local governments.

In our lectures and training sessions, we will introduce such field-based practical knowledge and co-creation methods with companies, education, and government in an easy-to-understand manner.
If you are interested in the SDGs, human resource development, global strategies, and public collaboration, please contact us.
