◆Working with local governments to provide support to local businesses Our company operates a knowledge platform with over 630,000 registered users from 190 countries around the world, with the mission of “Connecting Knowledge and Challenges.” We provide a variety of services that match the knowledge of individuals with business experience in all industries and sectors to companies that are taking on the challenge of change, such as new business development and DX promotion. Since 2021, our company has been supporting local companies in resolving issues such as DX promotion and business promotion as a corporate partner of local governments. In the first year, the initiative was limited to one local government in Tottori Prefecture, but by 2023, the initiative has expanded to five local governments and seven local governments, demonstrating the effectiveness of support from outside professionals for promoting DX of local companies and promoting industry. ◆In 2023, we provided support to 24 companies in 7 projects in 5 local governments [List of local government projects in which we were selected as a partner in 2023]

Ta. FY2023 was also a year in which we were selected as a new support project for local start-up companies, and the scope of the use of external human resources further expanded. In addition, there are some companies that we have supported for two years in a row, with continuous support such as the “strategy planning phase” in the first year and the “execution phase” in the following year. We are feeling the effects of the support. ◆Introducing specific examples from each local government project We would like to introduce some examples of companies that supported this project in 2023. ◎Saga Prefecture DX Accelerator Business https://www.saga-smart.jp/2024/20240327.html (hereinafter, examples of companies supported by our company) sueco Co., Ltd. “A young and new free-range poultry farm takes on the challenge of DX that utilizes people”

*We will provide support to all five companies selected as support companies for this project ◆ Aiming to further contribute to regional revitalization by utilizing external human resources, in FY2023 we will support more than twice as many local governments and regions compared to the previous year. We have provided support to companies. On the other hand, even after talking with local companies, I strongly feel that the use of external human resources is not widespread and that it is a method that only a few companies know about.
In the future, we will continue to utilize our largest knowledge platform in Japan and collaborate with local governments to support more local companies in taking on challenges and solving problems. We will contribute to its creation.
