This program is delivered as part of the Japanese government's “Global South Future Industry Human Resource Development Project.” Participating companies are eligible for tuition support through government subsidies.
Japanese manufacturers and supply-chain companies operating in ASEAN — especially Malaysia — face urgent pressure from accelerating digital transformation (DX) and chronic labor shortages.
BRIDGE International Asia Sdn Bhd leverages its consulting expertise at the intersection of business strategy and IT to train people who can dramatically lift productivity by embedding generative AI into real operations. Through this project, we support Japanese companies in ASEAN to strengthen competitiveness and shift toward sustainable business models.
Do any of these sound familiar?
Losing more than an hour every day translating between Japanese, Malay, and English in emails and reports
Knowing AI matters — but unsure where to start
No AI talent in-house, yet HQ keeps saying “push DX forward”
Small team juggling sales, accounting, and HR — automation can't come soon enough
Can't find an AI program in Malaysia delivered in Japanese
Too many paper-based processes — paperless transformation is overdue
