PMI is a new vocational training polytechnic established in August 2025 within the MM2100 Industrial Estate in the Jakarta metropolitan area, where numerous Japanese companies have factories and other facilities. It comprises three departments: Information Technology Engineering, Manufacturing Technology Engineering, and Digital Business. The impetus for collaboration between the two universities came from an introduction by Sigit Widodo, an international collaboration advisor of Ehime University who currently serves as President Director of PT. Fukusuke Kogyo Indonesia. This led to a meeting in March this year in Jakarta between Professor Shimagami and Mr. Kobi Yoshihiro, Vice Executive Director of PMI. Subsequently, in May of 2025, Director Wikan and Mr. Kobi visited Ehime University. They held extensive discussions with Professor Mitsunobu Kazuhiro, Vice President and Director of International Relations, and Professor Kobayashi, leading to the signing of the MoU.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, President Nishina and his delegation visited PT. Fukusuke Kogyo Indonesia, within the MM2100 Industrial Estate, following their visit to Politeknik Mitra Industri, where they exchanged views with President Director Sigit and others.<\/p>\n\n

President Nishina and his team then visited FUKUSUKE INDONESIA, located in the same MM2100 Industrial Park, where they exchanged views with President Sigit and others.<\/p>\n\n
