Fukuoka City will launch a new program to help local small and mid-sized IT firms recruit Indian engineers. The initiative, announced on July 9, includes support for matching employers with candidates, as well as assistance with Japanese language study and immigration procedures. Participating companies will be selected in August, with employment targeted to begin around April 2026. The program aligns with growing ties between Fukuoka and India, highlighted by the April opening of Japan’s second Indian consulate in the city. Consul General Ramkumar emphasized the goal of deepening economic links and sparking interest in India’s vast market among local businesses. Source: Fukuoka City
