Timee Inc. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Ryo Ogawa), which provides the gig work service "Timee," has signed an agreement for cooperation and collaboration with Higashiura Town, Aichi Prefecture (Mayor: Teruo Hidaka). This is the second such agreement with a local government in Aichi Prefecture.
Higashiura Town in Aichi Prefecture is blessed with a warm climate overlooking Mikawa Bay (Kinuura Bay) and abundant nature, including lush hilly areas. It is also known as the birthplace of "O-dai no Kata," the mother of Tokugawa Ieyasu. It is a town rich in natural blessings, with abundant agricultural products, including "Higashiura grapes" cultivated on the hilly terrain. Additionally, historical traditional events wishing for a bountiful harvest, such as the spirited "Omanto Festival (Horse Racing)" held in various places, and Aichi Prefecture's intangible folk cultural properties like "Dantsuku Shishimai (Lion Dance)" and "Higashiura Gokamura Mushi Kuyo (Insect Memorial Service)," are still deeply rooted in the lives of the townspeople.
However, the nationwide issues of a declining birthrate, aging population, and a decrease in the productive-age population are casting a shadow over Higashiura Town's proud key industries, agriculture and commerce. In particular, the severe labor shortages during harvest seasons for products like grapes, and the need to respond to sudden labor demands, are urgent challenges for the sustainable development of the regional economy and the preservation of traditions.
Therefore, this time, an "Agreement on Cooperation and Collaboration" with Higashiura Town has been concluded, aiming to create employment opportunities utilizing "Timee" and to revitalize the region by securing diverse workers.
Under our mission of "creating infrastructure that expands life's possibilities through 'work'," we will strive to solve regional issues within Higashiura Town.
