Aisin Corporation (Headquarters: Kariya City, Aichi Prefecture; President: Moritaka Yoshida) and Anjo City, Aichi Prefecture, will hold the 'ANJO Everyone's Sports Festival 2026' on Sunday, May 10. This event aims to provide opportunities for 'everyone' to enjoy sports together, regardless of age, gender, sports experience, or presence of disabilities. It also aims to revitalize the local community and continuously develop sports culture through sports after the event.
This event started in FY2024 and will be held for the third time this year. In FY2025, by holding the event at two venues (a main venue and a satellite venue) and planning collaborative projects with shopping districts and students, we welcomed many visitors and created opportunities for people to 'play', 'watch', and 'support' sports.
In FY2026, while inheriting these initiatives and aiming for further sports promotion in the region, we will newly collaborate with the Asian Games promotion departments in all 8 neighboring cities in the Mikawa region (Anjo, Kariya, Nishio, Okazaki, Toyota, Hekinan, Gamagori, and Tahara). We will implement sports experience programs associated with each city, such as wheelchair rugby experiences and sailing VR experiences.
The word 'mobility' in Aisin's corporate philosophy, 'Inspiring 'movement', creating tomorrow's smiles,' incorporates the meaning of providing experiences that move the 'heart.' We will continue to believe in the possibilities of sports and strive to build relationships of trust with the local community by working to revitalize society through sports activities.
