Currently, digitalization is advancing rapidly throughout Japanese society, and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are also being called upon to adapt to this shift. In response, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government has been supporting the digitalization efforts of SMEs. However, the level of digital integration varies significantly among companies, and there remains a continued need for detailed support tailored to the specific circumstances of each business. Furthermore, while the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and its policy-coordinating organizations offer numerous support programs for SMEs regarding various digitalization challenges, companies have expressed difficulty in determining which programs are most suitable for their needs.

In operating this project, Adecco will establish a one-stop service window to respond to businesses based on their current stage of digitalization. Depending on the specific challenges and professional consultation needs of each company, the project's dedicated experts will propose the most suitable digital-related programs to support the realization of digitalized business operations.

Adecco has a proven track record of operating numerous projects commissioned by government agencies and local municipalities. Moving forward, the company will continue to leverage the expertise it has cultivated over many years in areas such as business digitalization and productivity improvement to support companies in solving management challenges and advancing their digital transformation.
