Detailed Report: https://www.challenge-niigata.com/news/posts/demoday2025-report1
■ Background of the Partnership
"Challenge Niigata" is an initiative organized by the Niigata Prefectural Industrial Location Division to connect regions and companies for co-creation. This year, 91 proposals were submitted by 40 companies for 15 regional challenges, resulting in 66 successful matches. APOC is one of the companies matched with Niigata City, working to strengthen international communication.
Niigata City faced the challenge of not being able to sufficiently convey its rich soft assets, including its Ramsar Convention Wetland City certification, to overseas audiences. Seizing the opportunity of hosting an international conference, the city aims to leverage corporate know-how to disseminate Niigata's appeal to the world.
■ APOC's Initiatives and Future Developments
APOC will support Niigata City's international recognition expansion by utilizing "Global Press," its overseas press release distribution service, which boasts high-quality native translation and guaranteed placement in overseas media.
Beyond mere media exposure, by strategically incorporating search-friendly keywords from the translation stage, APOC achieves an asset-type PR effect, where information is discovered long-term when people worldwide search for related terms.
In conjunction with the 5th Mayors Roundtable of Wetland City Mayors, to be held in Niigata City this fiscal year, APOC plans to conduct six overseas press release distributions.
■ Presentation at the Report Meeting
At the "Challenge Niigata 2025 Report Meeting" held on February 6, 2026, an APOC representative presented the details of this initiative alongside a Niigata City official. The background of the partnership, specific measures, and future outlook were explained to attendees and online participants.
■ Comment from Representative Director Shunsuke Saito
"I am deeply honored to partner with Niigata City. As a native of Niigata Prefecture myself, I approach this initiative to convey the local charm to the world with special dedication. In this endeavor, we will maximize the excellent opportunity of the international conference and conduct highly effective information dissemination by strategically incorporating keywords from the translation stage. We will work tirelessly to ensure Niigata's appeal reaches worldwide and contributes to regional revitalization."
