FedEx has announced the winners of the 2025 FedEx/Junior Achievement International Trade Challenge (FedEx/JA ITC) national competition, which targets high school students. The top three teams, consisting of six students, will advance to the international competition scheduled for August 2025.

For 17 years, FedEx and Junior Achievement Japan have been dedicated to nurturing future business leaders in Japan. The ITC program focuses on global trade through team activities and professional workshops. It aims to equip young entrepreneurs with skills necessary for future success.

This year's participants were tasked with proposing sustainable solutions to reduce waste from fast fashion returns targeting the Chinese market. Their ideas reflected a deep understanding of sustainable business practices required by modern international society, along with strong multifaceted thinking and creativity.

The national competition winners are as follows:

- Kiju Kamachi and Haruki Kawamata from Tokyo presented "DimensionView," a device that plugs into monitors like TVs to display life-sized clothing, aiming to reduce return rates by minimizing size errors.

- Tomoharu Hayakawa and Yui Motoishi from Tokyo developed "SnapFit," an app that measures body size data to dress an avatar, reducing returns due to size or style mismatches.

- Sumire Yamamoto and Rio Shimizu from Tokyo created "StitchSnap," a product inspired by China's fandom culture allowing users to print favorite images on items like T-shirts or bags using fabric from discarded clothes.

These Japanese representatives will join the international event in Singapore, collaborating with peers from Hong Kong, Indonesia, South Korea, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam. This offers them a valuable opportunity to work with diverse cultural backgrounds and engage in constructive discussions.

Ken McMahon, Managing Director of Customer Solutions & Special Services for Asia Pacific at FedEx, stated: "I was truly impressed by the creativity and enthusiasm of this year's participants. The logical thinking and innovative ideas demonstrated while tackling the theme highlight their potential as future business leaders who will play a crucial role in promoting economic growth not only in Japan but globally. ITC is vital for students to acquire the skills and confidence needed to navigate complex global markets and an increasingly uncertain future."

Since its inception in 2008, FedEx/JA ITC has supported approximately 2,400 high school students in deepening their understanding of international trade.
