As one of Japan’s leading general contractors, Taisei Corp. supports global supply chains by developing infrastructure and core facilities across overseas markets. As its business becomes increasingly global, the company now places added importance on a “common information platform” that can be shared across borders, roles and regions.

At Taisei’s International Operation Headquarters, which serves as the hub of its global operations, a corporate subscription to Nikkei Asia enables teams at headquarters in Tokyo and overseas offices to track political and economic developments across Asia from a shared perspective. These insights support daily decision-making and help facilitate smooth communication across the organization.

How is Nikkei Asia used in practice? We spoke with three Taisei professionals working on the front lines of the company’s Asia-focused operations.

#### **— What kinds of Nikkei Asia articles do you find valuable?**

Yoko Sasajima: Based in Vietnam, I am responsible for sourcing new development opportunities and managing existing investment projects. Nikkei Asia frequently covers the Asian real-estate sector, making it an important information source for my work.

In particular, articles that explain trends among developers and conglomerates across Asia—often supported by strong visuals—are especially useful, helping me in conversations with both industry peers and clients.

Yoko Sasajima (Front row, leftmost)

Daisuke Miyazaki: I am stationed in the Philippines, working on railway construction projects, where I handle on-site management such as procurement, budgeting and subcontractor supervision. Since English is the common language for both daily operations and bidding processes, I read a wide range of articles—not only about construction but also on technology and geopolitical risks—to continuously build my vocabulary.

Michiko Ouchi: Our office includes colleagues from Nepal and Pakistan, so I often read news related to their home countries. Nikkei Asia introduces cultures and developments across Asia in a cross-regional way, and even when articles are not directly related to our work, sharing them often becomes a starting point for conversation and helps strengthen communication among our multinational team.

#### **—What challenges do you face in gathering information, and how does Nikkei Asia help overcome them?**

Ouchi: In the Philippines, unverified information sometimes appears in local media and spreads quickly through social networking services. Nikkei Asia offers calm, objective reporting from an external perspective, which is why we trust it as a reliable complementary source of information.

For example, when the situation in Pakistan became unstable, a colleague who was temporarily back inthe country was unable to return to their post. Relying solely on local media made it difficult to assess the situation, and articles from Nikkei Asia helped us gain a clearer understanding.

Michiko Ouchi (Front row, third from the left)

Sasajima: Real estate markets are highly affected by macroeconomic factors such as trade policies and monetary policy, making it essential to understand cross-border investment flows.

For breaking news where speed is critical, I mainly rely on Vietnamese investment media. However, to maintain a broader, strategic perspective, I find Nikkei Asia’s Asia-wide coverage extremely valuable.

#### **— How do you collect information efficiently amid your busy schedules?**

Sasajima: I use the “My News” feature and register keywords relevant to my work, such as “Property.” I mainly rely on the daily email newsletters and spend about 30 minutes reviewing them each morning after arriving at the office.

These emails automatically compile articles containing my registered keywords, allowing me to quickly identify relevant stories from the headlines and collect information efficiently.

Miyazaki: I travel frequently, and during waiting times at airports I often check information about my destination. The "Text-to-speech" feature is particularly useful when I am traveling by car. By listening to articles as well as reading them, I can stay informed while also improving my English skills.

#### **— What are the advantages of corporate subscriptions for global companies?**

Sasajima: Because the company has a corporate subscription, articles can be easily shared internally simply by sending a link. When I was working at the International Business Headquarters in Tokyo, I regularly shared useful articles with team members based overseas.

Miyazaki: Sharing news articles creates common topics regardless of nationality. With colleagues from different countries working in the same office, Nikkei Asia articles often become conversation starters—leading to discussions about local news and developments across Asia.

#### **— How do you plan to use Nikkei Asia going forward?**

Miyazaki: I have spent many years working overseas, mainly on infrastructure projects involving international bidding and on-site management. In various countries, I have often used news topics as a way to expand conversations with colleagues and business partners.

Having an understanding of local conditions makes communication much smoother, even during short business trips. Nikkei Asia is written in clear, accessible English that is easy for non-native speakers to understand. By reading articles on areas of personal interest—such as rockets and AI—I hope to further expand both my vocabulary and my overall perspective.

Sasajima: Supported by population growth and a young workforce, Vietnam is expected to see continued growth in demand-driven real-estate investment, including offices, housing, rental factories and warehouses.

Taisei positions Vietnam as a key market and is advancing development, design, construction and operations as a unified group, centered on *Taisei Square Hanoi*.

Looking ahead, a broad perspective on Asia and the global economy will remain essential for making sound business decisions. I intend to continue leveraging Nikkei Asia to gain wide-ranging insights and apply them to our operations.
