What is LINKAI Yokohama Kanazawa?

Although this area is still developing, many issues are becoming clear at companies located due to the globalization of the economy and the declining birthrate and aging population.
Therefore, local companies and the government worked together to consider ways to make this area a higher value-added area where human resources gather more, and formulated the "Kanazawa Coastal Industry Revitalization Plan" in FY2016 . (* Please refer to [Reference] below.)
As one of the initiatives of the plan, we will give a new name that is familiar to this area, and we will examine it through citizen voting by WEB and voting events at local events, and decide the name in December 2017 Did.
This name expresses the desire to "make this area with a good environment where many small and medium-sized enterprises are concentrated, an attractive area where people can gather." “LINKAI” means “LINK” in the seaside area, “LINK” has two meanings: “LINK” and “AI” (love / match)”.

LINKAI Yokohama Kanazawa is promoting industry-academia-government collaboration with two universities in Kanazawa Ward, Kanto Gakuin University and Yokohama City University.
