Akita AgeTech Hub Initiative formulated and submitted to Akita Prefecture

We formulated the Akita AgeTech Hub Initiative, a blueprint for making Akita, where aging advances faster than anywhere in the world, a leading global innovation hub for age-technology. We began advocacy to Akita Prefecture.

The initiative rests on three functions: an international conference, a real-world testbed (sandbox) across Akita, and growth investment through a public-private fund. The aim is to create a model that solves a universal challenge while revitalizing the regional economy.

By building the pipeline from validation to commercialization and investment, we will foster Akita-born AgeTech startups.
