'Coconala Tech,' an IT freelance and full-time employee matching service operated by Coconala Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President & CEO: Ayumu Suzuki; TSE Growth: 4176; hereinafter referred to as "Our Company"), has been awarded "BRONZE" as one of the "30 noteworthy agents steadily gaining support" among 328 nominated companies at the "Freelance Agent AWARD 2026" hosted by INSTANTROOM Inc. (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Kosuke Sone).
◼️ Background of the Award
The "Freelance Agent AWARD 2026" is the first award in the industry to select and recognize companies that have received particularly high evaluations from over 300 freelance agencies operating in Japan. Strict screening is conducted based on objective evaluation criteria, including user votes by freelance engineers and recommendations from industry stakeholders.
This time, Coconala Tech was awarded "BRONZE" as one of the "30 noteworthy agents steadily gaining support" from over 300 companies nationwide. We sincerely thank the freelance engineers who use our services daily and all stakeholders for their evaluations and recommendations.
Currently, digital transformation (DX) is accelerating in Japan. Meanwhile, according to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Survey on IT Human Resource Supply and Demand," it is predicted that there will be a shortage of up to approximately 790,000 IT professionals by 2030.
Coconala Tech was launched as an agency to address the severe shortage of engineers in development fields. We provide multifaceted support to solve the challenges faced by both companies and freelancers, including supporting companies' human resource needs and offering "furiwell," a welfare service that improves the working environment for freelancers.
We believe this award is a result of the evaluation of our diverse range of projects and talent, including over 6,000 cumulative client companies and over 24,000 registered freelancers, as well as our follow-up system that allows freelancers to work with peace of mind for extended periods.
Building on this award, we will accelerate the realization of our mission to create a world where each freelancer shines as a professional and lives "their own story." We will continue to pursue further service improvements as a bridge that maximizes individual potential and supports corporate innovation.

From Toshi Kondo, Business Lead of Coconala Tech (Director, Coconala Tech Inc.)
We are very pleased to have received the BRONZE award at the "Freelance Agent AWARD 2026." Above all, the fact that we could receive direct evaluation from the freelance engineers who actually use our service is our greatest joy.
On the other hand, we have no intention of being satisfied here. We want to grow into an agency that receives higher evaluations, such as Silver and Gold, next. To that end, we will further expand our systems and support structures that are favored by freelancers, and broaden the scope of our services, such as supporting the realization of diverse work styles, including transitions from freelance to full-time employment, or from full-time employment to freelance.
We will continue to make every effort to create an environment where freelance engineers can work with peace of mind.
