Co-Creation Exchange Event on Longevity: Exploring the Future of Health, Welfare, Care, and Healthcare in Osaka Morinomiya on July 22

COMMON Co., Ltd. will host 'Commons Connect Osaka' on Wednesday, July 22, 2026, at 'Hotori de,' a lifestyle and learning experimental field in Morinomiya, Osaka.

The theme of this event is 'Longevity.'

Longevity refers not merely to living longer, but to a philosophy of living healthily, authentically, and connected to one’s community and family throughout the 100-year life era.

Amid accelerating population aging and declining birthrates, communities face a complex web of challenges: extending healthy life spans, preventing the need for long-term care, shortages in medical and welfare personnel, family caregiving burdens, loneliness and social isolation, dementia, inheritance, housing, and end-of-life preparations.

These issues cannot be solved by government alone, medical institutions alone, or care providers alone.

This event will comprehensively address a wide range of topics—including health, welfare, caregiving, healthcare, inheritance, housing, integrated community care, prevention, combating loneliness and isolation, end-of-life planning, and family support—and explore how governments, businesses, and local stakeholders can collaborate to support the future of their communities.

Commons Connect is not just a seminar; it is an interactive forum where government officials, businesses, healthcare and welfare professionals, and local players directly connect to spark future collaborations and partnerships.

We will welcome guests including the Osaka City Urban Planning Bureau, UR Urban Development Corporation, and private sector operators active in the region to discuss possibilities in urban development, regional revitalization, welfare, community building, and public-private collaboration.

This event is not merely a seminar but an interactive space where government, businesses, and local stakeholders directly connect to create opportunities for future collaboration. Businesses, local government officials, community organizations, and students in the Osaka-Kansai area who are interested in regional or public-private collaboration are strongly encouraged to participate. Capacity is limited to the first 30 registrants.

About Commons Connect

Various speakers have previously taken the stage

Commons Connect is an interactive forum where municipalities, businesses, community groups, educational institutions, and students transcend organizational boundaries to connect around regional challenges and urban development.

Its distinguishing feature is that it is not a passive lecture-style seminar, but rather a space where participants directly engage in dialogue to spark future collaborations and partnerships.

Communities face diverse challenges such as disaster preparedness, welfare, tourism, education, health, local communities, vacant houses, shopping districts, industrial promotion, and regional promotion.

At the same time, businesses, universities, and community organizations possess their own technologies, services, human resources, networks, and expertise.

Commons Connect connects these regional challenges with the strengths of private companies, educational institutions, and local players, creating opportunities for new collaborations and projects to emerge within communities.

This event’s theme: 'Longevity'—Rethinking health, welfare, care, and healthcare in the 100-year life era through regional and public-private collaboration

As we enter the 100-year life era, communities are increasingly in need of systems that support not just longer lives, but also secure, continuous living, sustained social connections, and mutual support among families and communities.

Issues such as extending healthy life spans, preventing the need for care, monitoring, housing, inheritance, end-of-life planning, combating loneliness and isolation, and integrated community care will grow in importance.

At the same time, these fields offer opportunities for diverse businesses and experts beyond healthcare, welfare, and nursing—including real estate, finance, insurance, IT, education, physical activity, nutrition, community support, and health management.

At this Commons Connect Osaka event, we will connect regional challenges with insights from businesses and experts, centered on the concept of longevity, to explore the forms of public-private collaboration needed for the future of our communities.

You will gain opportunities to connect your company’s strengths in health management, care prevention, medical welfare, inheritance, housing, insurance, finance, IT, education, nutrition, physical activity, and community support to regional challenges and public-private collaboration.

This event offers a chance to explore possibilities for joint initiatives between local governments and community organizations, corporate versions of hometown tax donations, regional events, pilot projects, and awareness campaigns in health and welfare.

Mr. Yamamoto leverages his expertise in architecture, insurance, and financial planning to support individuals and families in inheritance, housing, and decision-making, driven by the belief that 'no one should suffer due to lack of knowledge.'

He will speak on inheritance, housing, family decision-making, and support systems enabling secure living in communities during the 100-year life era.

In aging communities, challenges related to inheritance and housing are not merely individual or family issues—they are deeply connected to community welfare, vacant homes, caregiving, monitoring, family support, and community cohesion.

This session offers an opportunity to consider how experts, businesses, local governments, and community organizations can collaborate.
