Commons Connect is a networking platform that aims to create concrete collaborations and projects for solving regional issues through encounters that transcend positions, including government, companies, students, and regional players.
The issues faced by regions are becoming more complex year by year, including declining birthrates and aging populations, disaster prevention, tourism promotion, industrial revitalization, and the creation of affiliated populations. On the other hand, there is an increasing number of people within companies and educational institutions who want to utilize their own technologies, knowledge, and networks for the region.
At this Kyoto event, under the theme of "Co-creation among Government x Companies x Students," we will create new points of contact and triggers for collaboration through dialogues that transcend respective positions and fields.
We will hold this not just as a place that ends with an exchange of business cards, but as a meeting place that leads to the next action.
## Value for Companies (Not just participating on the day)
Commons Connect is designed on the premise of "Encounter -> Dialogue -> Project Generation -> Regional Implementation," rather than being a one-off networking event.
- Connect directly with representatives from companies, local governments, and public institutions.
- Create opportunities to reframe regional issues as businesses and connect them to demonstrations, implementations, and collaborations.
- Find co-creation partners, including collaborations between companies.
After participating, we invite you to join the COMMON Network (membership) to lead to continuous collaboration and the creation of new opportunities.
