Co-creation With Local Stakeholders

Through the development and operation of water infrastructure, Nihon Suido Consultants is not only designing water infrastructure, but also engaging with the local community. We are actively working with local stakeholders to promote education, science and technology, support community events, and promote diverse working styles.

Education

We provide knowledge about water infrastructure to the next generation of students by dispatching lecturers to educational institutions and providing on-site classes. We hope that an in-depth understanding of the importance of water infrastructure projects, how they work, and the challenges they face will benefit these students in their future work as consultants or in other fields.
