We believe that the overseas business is becoming increasingly more important in the energy sector through fields such as new energy, environment, and fuel procurement.
Combining our overseas alliances and research experience on overseas business cases with our know-how and network, IDI not only provides this know-how and advisory services to assist Japanese clients in advancing overseas, but also promotes the development of energy and environment sectors in Asia through our work in the investment fund business with Japan Asia Investment Co., Ltd. (JAIC).
Providing Overseas Know-how to Japanese Companies
In 2003, the year in which IDI was established, liberalization of the electrical power industry in Japan started to gain momentum, and formulating strategies for companies to adjust to such liberalization became a major theme for the energy industry.
Against this backdrop, we have studied the implications of such liberalization in Japan by researching the models in Europe and the U.S. where liberalization of the industry is further along, and by researching measures implemented by companies in these countries to deal with liberalization. At the same time, we have been providing services such as strategy formulation consulting for energy companies by developing and implementing a MCP Model (a model for estimating medium-to-long term wholesale electrical power prices, which has a proven track record overseas) for the Japanese market, and conducting quantitative analysis based on future scenarios.
Advising Japanese Companies on Advancement Overseas
Japanese companies in the energy sector are constantly searching for a chance to advance and develop their business overseas.
With our focus on Asia, where energy and environment fields have been developing remarkably in recent years, IDI supports such overseas advancement of our clients.
For instance, we provide comprehensive services from financial advisory regarding investment into Asia by Japanese companies to post investment hands-on support.
Providing Overseas Network
Through years of researching overseas business cases and forming alliances with overseas companies, IDI has established an extensive network overseas.
We provide added value to our overseas business service by offering not only our solutions, but also our overseas network to our clients.
In recent years, we have further expanded our network through our alliance with Japan Asia Investment Co., Ltd. (JAIC), with whom we started an investment fund targeting the energy and environment sector in Asia.
