Timee Signs Business Partnership Agreement to Support Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises

The Nagasaki Prefectural Federation of Societies of Commerce and Industry (Chairman: Tamotsu Shiraishi) has signed a four-party partnership agreement on 'Support for Small and Medium-Sized Enterprises' with Timee, Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ryo Ogawa), which provides the spot-work service 'Timee,' Nagasaki Prefecture (Governor: Ken Hirata), and the Nagasaki Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Chairman: Takujiro Mori). Under this agreement, the parties aim to build talent acquisition routes for local companies facing chronic labor shortages by utilizing the 'Timee' talent matching service to support spot work. A signing ceremony was held at the Nagasaki Prefectural Office on Friday, May 29, 2026. Nagasaki is a tourism and maritime prefecture with many remote islands and rich historical heritage, but it is experiencing population decline and an aging society faster than the national average. Labor shortages are the most critical issue for SMEs, which account for 99.9% of companies in the prefecture. Through this four-party agreement, the parties will promote the use of spot work for businesses across Nagasaki Prefecture and provide community-based management support. Specifically, they will conduct events and briefings to promote spot work and stimulate the potential labor force. This is expected to create an environment where labor can be secured when needed, and eventually lead to new talent acquisition routes, including long-term and regular employment.
