Our CSO appointed Producer of the Odate Venture Lab

We are pleased to announce that our CSO has been appointed Producer of the Odate Venture Lab, an entrepreneurship-support program run by Odate City, Akita Prefecture.

The Odate Venture Lab recruits aspiring entrepreneurs as "players" and provides up to three years of support so they can focus fully on starting their business. It is designed under a national program that brings private-sector expertise into local-government initiatives.

We continue to provide policy advisory and hands-on consulting to Odate City and other local governments, and this appointment extends that relationship. We remain committed to building the ground where new regional challenges keep taking root.
