Agent Co., Ltd. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Shinomiya; hereinafter "the Company"), which solves society's "problems" through the power of business, exhibited at the "KIRABOSHI SUMMIT" event hosted by Kiraboshi Bank on February 19th and 20th, 2026, to accelerate its public-private co-creation community "Furunoba" project, which aims to solve regional issues through dialogue between local governments and companies.
This event was aimed at matching companies and creating new businesses, with various industries participating. The Company introduced "Furunoba," a service that supports "co-creation" between local governments and companies.
## Background of Exhibition: The "Invisible Wall" of Public-Private Partnerships
Currently, while many companies are interested in contributing to regional problem-solving and local revitalization, there are high hurdles to promoting actual public-private partnership projects.
- Cannot meet
Firstly, opportunities to meet local government officials who are eager to solve problems are limited.
- Cannot grasp needs
It is unclear what needs local governments truly have, and the budget and organizational status for accepting proposals are unknown.
- Proposals do not pass
Even if a proposal is made, it stops at "we will consider it" and does not develop into concrete business negotiations or projects.
"Furunoba" is a project launched to solve these issues and provide a "gateway to co-creation" where companies and local governments can engage in honest dialogue as "equal partners."
## Exhibition Content: Visualizing the "Gateway to Co-creation"
On the day of the event, the concept and utilization methods of "Furunoba" were introduced, and specific co-creation themes were discussed through dialogue with visiting companies. The Company also participated in an in-event pitch, proposing a new approach to "designing the relationship between local governments and companies."
## Exhibition Results and Future Outlook
This exhibition not only led to lead generation but also to the collection of new customer needs.
"Furunoba" will continue to strengthen its community functions to sustainably generate co-creation between local governments and companies, rather than just one-off matching support. At the same time, it will also promote the following highly demanded measures:
- Highly accurate matching (matching specific needs with solutions)
- Expansion of public-private co-creation areas through cooperation with partner companies
This will resolve structural issues such as "there are encounters, but discussions do not progress" and "appropriate collaboration partners (companies/local governments) cannot be found," contributing to regional problem-solving through public-private co-creation.
## Public-Private Co-creation Community "Furunoba"
"Furunoba" is a public-private co-creation community that supports co-creation between local governments and companies in "regional revitalization," one of the seven social issue areas that the Company focuses on.
By combining a portal site, events, and support, it provides consistent support from the consideration stage of local government collaboration to concrete co-creation actions.
- Portal site: Provides a mechanism for both local governments and companies to view information, supporting efficient contact creation.
- Events: Creates opportunities for local governments and companies to deepen mutual understanding and concretize co-creation themes through public-private exchange events such as "Furunoba Meet," where local governments and companies directly interact, and "Furunoba Reverse Pitch," where local governments present challenges and companies propose solutions.
- Support: Supports the promotion of co-creation between local governments and companies through proposal and progress support after events by local government coordinators.
A key feature is its emphasis on transforming encounters into "opportunities for collaboration" and connecting them to continuous relationship building, rather than just simple matching.
"Furunoba" will continue to expand the possibilities of co-creation as a platform for companies and local governments to meet, dialogue, and move towards co-creation.
