EX Research Institute is a think tank and planning office specializing in environmental management and urban/regional development. We have been creating intellectual values to the society in order to cope with rising issues. The 21st century, characterized as the century of transformation, is facing new challenges, which we have to identify concrete directions and tools to overcome. In the environmental management area/areas, the challenges include, but not limited to, actions against global warming, utilization of renewable resources, promotion of 3Rs (reduce, reuse, and recycle) of wastes, and proper environmental and safety risk management. In the urban development area/areas, the challenges include restructuring regional structure for decreasing and aging populations and realizing feasible urban development in cooperation with all relevant stakeholders - i.e.: general public, authorities, and private institutions. We, EX Research Institute, seek to build a “Sustainable Society" in order to address those challenges from three different directions, “City Planning and Community Revitalization", “Environmental Management", and “Developing Country Assistance". To achieve this goal, we make full use of our tools - i.e. skills and experience of “planning", “consulting", “coordinating", “engineering", and “networking" accumulated through providing services for the last 40 years. We look forward to serving government agencies, research institutions, local authorities, private companies, and/or citizen groups.
