About ASPA
ASPA is an international non-governmental organization established in Japan in 1997 for the purpose of accomplishing the joint development in the fields of scientific technology, industry and economy in the Asian region.
ASPA has been trying to present a new paradigm for Asian industry and build economic consensus in Asia by bringing innovative organizations, companies and individuals together that make contributions to industrial and economic development in their societies.
The efforts to achieve these goals include holding international events which can boost exchanges of experience, knowledge and various projects and share industrial and economic resources through the expanding network.
Vision
"A Leading Institution for Knowledge Sharing and Technology Exchange in Asia”
We realized there have been many hardships in the fields of industry and economy such as cultural differences, harsh competitions, different religion/nationality and other historical factors.
ASPA has tried to overcome all these obstacles as the leading network of industrial technology in Asia and contribute to build one Asian community by exchanging technology beyond national borders.
