We have been selected for the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism 's FY2026 "Private Sector Proposal-Based PPP Modeling Project."
We are pleased to announce that the joint proposal group (hereinafter referred to as "PACIFIC CONSULTANTS"), Representative Director, President Executive Officer of PACIFIC CONSULTANTS CO., LTD., Ltd.

This project is an initiative by Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism aimed at developing and disseminating new PPP methods to address challenges faced by local public organizations, by utilizing the technologies and know-how possessed by private business sectors.
This joint proposal was selected with Takarazuka City, Hyogo Prefecture, as the model local public organizations, with the theme of "Formation of an 'Infrastructure Maintenance City' Based on Citizen Collaboration." In this initiative, the three companies' different areas of expertise—"Management (PACIFIC CONSULTANTS)," "Digital (NTT Field Techno)," and "Maintenance Technology (Showbond Construction)"—will be integrated to manage everything from daily management to design and construction, thereby comprehensively optimizing infrastructure maintenance. This will enable the "institutionalization" of comprehensive projects, "efficiency improvements" centered on new technologies, and the "establishment" of systems and methods among local stakeholders. At the same time, it aims to build a new sustainable infrastructure management model by developing a collaborative system that leads to the sustainable participation of local stakeholders (employees and local businesses).
This joint proposal group will utilize the knowledge gained through this project to further enhance PPP in the field of infrastructure maintenance and management, and to establish new models that can be deployed to other regions.
