The Program on Business Innovation and Organization Development [BIOD]
1. BACKGROUND OF THE PROGRAM:
The Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable Partnerships (AOTS) is an organization
for human resources development mainly in overseas countries to promote technical cooperation through
training, experts dispatch and other programs. Through those programs, we aim at contributing to the mutual
economic growth of developing countries and Japan as well as enhancing friendly relations among those
countries.
AOTS was established in 1959 with the support of the Ministry of International Trade and Industry (which is
the present Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry: METI) as Japan’s first technical cooperation
organization on a private sector basis. More than 194,000 individuals from 171 countries have undergone our
training in Japan, while the cumulative attendance at our overseas programs till the end of fiscal 2018
exceeded 204,000.
The Program on Business Innovation and Organization Development (BIOD) is one of the management
training courses that is conducted by the Association for Overseas Technical Cooperation and Sustainable
Partnerships (AOTS). In the context that the concept of SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)* has become
common in society, the importance of the private sector in society is being focused on closely and people are
greatly interested in creating a new business model that enables companies both to realize their own goals and
to solve social issues. Derived from this background, this program is designed for participants from all the
developing countries to enhance their sense of intuition, ability to plan, and leadership, all of which are
necessary for creating business innovation to solve social issues. It also aims at developing managerial talent
to promote a changing organizational climate and culture.
* SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals): The international target from 2016 to 2030 mentioned in the “2030
Agenda for Sustainable Development”, which was adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at a UN Summit. It
consists of 17 Goals and 169 Targets to realize Sustainable Development.

8. TRAINING COSTS (Application from overseas countries):

The training costs and the procedures for the settlement differ depending on whether an overseas company
makes the application via AOTS’s overseas office and collaborating organization or a Japanese host company
in Japan makes the application. The following is an explanation of the case of the application from an overseas
country via AOTS’s overseas office and collaborating organization.
8-1) Outline
AOTS training programs are financed by Official Development Assistance (ODA) subsidies from the Japanese
Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) together with the Participation Fee from the participants
themselves.
The Training Costs will vary in accordance with the actual airfare and participants’ staying days. Therefore,
the Participation Fee will be finalized after their arrival in Japan by submitting the actual air ticket and the
receipt. The international Travel Expenses have an upper limit called Standard Airfare Limits, which depend
on the country and the region as shown in Table 2.
The Estimates of the Participation Fee for the countries of Category 1* and for the countries in Category 2*
are shown in Tables 1-1 and 1-2. Please refer to Table 3 “List of Target Countries and Regions” for the
classification of category 1 and category 2.
Participants will be requested to pay the Participation Fee in Japanese Yen in cash to AOTS after their arrival
in Japan.
*Please note that the subsidy from the Japanese government will be applicable from the day before the
commencement of the training program to the final day of the training program in principle.
8-2) Breakdown
The Training Costs are the total amount of expenses to invite a participant to a training program in Japan. It is
the sum of 1. Allowance Costs, 2. Course Implementation Costs, and 3. Domestic Travel Allowance. The
Participation Fee, the amount that participants should bear, consists of Contribution to Allowance Costs and
Contribution to Course Implementation Costs.
1. Allowance Cost

The Contribution to Allowance Costs for the participants from the countries in Category 1 is 1/3 of the
Allowance Costs. Participants from the countries in Category 2 do not have to pay the Contribution to
Allowance Costs.
(1) International Travel Expenses

- The subsidy from the Japanese government will cover the actual airfare up to the Standard Airfare
Limits (the AOTS’s Standard Airfare Limits for FY2019 is shown in Table 2.). International travel

provided if the conditions are not satisfied or the participant is travelling on a free ticket.
- Participants should purchase their own round-trip air tickets. Please refer to “Guidelines for Purchase of
Air Tickets by the Participant” for the arrangement and the method of reimbursement for details.

Guidelines for Purchase of Air Tickets by the Participant

And method of reimbursement by AOTS
1. Arrival and Departure Dates:

Arriving in Japan on the day before the commencement of the program and departing on the day after the
closing day of the program or the nearest days to be allowed by the flight schedule within two days before
and/or after the program.
2. Method of Reimbursement:
During the training program in Japan, participants should present to AOTS their air tickets and submit official
receipts of air ticket purchase for reimbursement. The sum of the following items (1) and (2) will be subsidized.
In principle, an economy class air ticket purchased for a round-trip on the standard route according to the
criteria of the International Air Transport Association (IATA) is defined as the standard airfare to be covered.
(1) Actual round-trip airfare within the Standard Airfare Limits (the limits of AOTS’s standard round-trip airfare
amount) specified for the respective area (country).
(2) The departure tax, airport tax and other taxes indispensable to the usual flight route defined by IATA subject
to the submission of evidence.
[NOTE] A participant is not allowed to overstay at city(ies) of a third country between participant’s home
country and Japan by any reasons other than flight convenience. In such case, AOTS might not
reimburse the International Travel Expenses to the participant.
3. Official Receipts:
AOTS will confirm the air ticket and official receipt and calculate the actual yen value of the air ticket with the
exchange rate on the date of the ticket’s issue.
(1) AOTS can only accept the official receipts duly issued by the issuer in which a breakdown of the total airfare
is explicitly described, such as airfare, tax (the departure tax, airport tax and other taxes indispensable to the
usual flight route defined by IATA) and commission. It should also contain the name of the issuer’s
representative, address, telephone number and facsimile number.
(2) Neither Invoice nor Calculation Sheet will be accepted as the receipt. However, an Invoice/Calculation Sheet
using the letter-head of the air ticket issuer stating the word “Received” or “Paid” and including the
signature of the air ticket issuer may be accepted.
＊ If any participant fails to submit the official receipt duly issued by the relevant airline company or
travel agent, the participant will not receive any subsidy towards his/her airfare and will be required to
pay the full amount of the Participation Fee in cash to AOTS.
Visa Acquisition Procedures:

1. Status of Residence:
The status required for your training in Japan is “Trainee.”
2. Visa Acquisition:
A participant shall apply for and obtain a “Trainee” visa at a Japanese embassy or general consulate
(hereinafter: diplomatic mission) with materials issued by AOTS such as a Guarantee Letter. It may be the
case that the submitted materials are forwarded to the Consular Affairs Bureau (Tokyo) for checking.
3. Notes:
A bearer of a visa other than “Trainee” visa, e.g., a “temporary visitor” visa, a “multiple” visa, or an APEC
business travel card (ABTC), or a citizen from a country/area participating in a visa waiver program with
Japan must confirm with the local Japanese diplomatic mission prior to visa application if the existing visa is
in accordance with the qualification of stay in Japan for the AOTS management training program.
