Startup Creation and Next-Generation Human Resource Development Business

※Contributions from companies with headquarters outside the city to this project are subject to tax credits as a local revitalization support tax system (corporate version of hometown tax payment).

Amid major social and economic changes, such as changes in the global environment, there is a strong demand from both Japan and abroad to create an environment in which industry, academia and citizens collaborate to create businesses that contribute to solving social issues through innovation. In order to achieve this goal, we will work to develop human resources who will be responsible for innovation, education for the next generation, etc., and implement programs that support the back of high-growth startups, aiming to be a city that will continue to develop in the future.

We will establish a new support base specializing in technical startups in 2024 to create an environment where entrepreneurs and supporters active at the forefront of Japan and overseas gather on a daily basis.
