[Exhibition Report] Public-Private Co-creation Community "Furunoba" Exhibition Report at "KIRABOSHI SUMMIT" Hosted by Kiraboshi Bank

Agent Co., Ltd. (Location: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Koji Shinomiya; hereinafter referred to as "the Company"), which solves societal "problems" through the power of business, exhibited at the "KIRABOSHI SUMMIT" 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 corporations.

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 corporations.

Background of Exhibition: The "Invisible Wall" in Public-Private Collaboration

Currently, many companies are interested in contributing to regional problem-solving and local revitalization, but there are high hurdles to promoting actual public-private collaboration projects.

* Cannot meet * Opportunities to meet local government officials eager to solve problems are limited. * Cannot grasp needs * It is unclear what needs local governments truly have, and the budget and organizational situation 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 an "entrance to co-creation" where companies and local governments can have honest dialogues as "equal partners."

Exhibition Content: Visualizing the "Entrance 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 event pitch, proposing a new approach to "designing the relationship between local governments and corporations."

Results of Exhibition and Future Prospects

This exhibition not only led to lead generation but also to the collection of new customer needs.

Going forward, "Furunoba" will continue to strengthen its function as a community that sustainably creates co-creation between local governments and companies, beyond one-off matching support. At the same time, we will proceed with the following highly sought-after initiatives:

* 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 "encounters but no progress" and "inability to find suitable collaboration partners (companies/local governments)," 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 Agent Co., Ltd. focuses on.

By combining a portal site, events, and support, it consistently supports everything from the検討 phase 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. (Click here for the portal site) * Events: Through public-private exchange events like "Furunoba Meet" where local governments and companies directly interact, and "Furunoba Reverse Pitch" where local governments announce issues and companies propose solutions, opportunities are created for local governments and companies to deepen mutual understanding and materialize co-creation themes. * Support: Local government coordinators support proposals and progress after events, promoting co-creation between local governments and companies.

A key feature is that it focuses on transforming encounters into "opportunities for collaboration" and building continuous relationships, 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, interact, and move towards co-creation.
