■What is Local Hub?
Local Hub is a public-private co-creation platform where municipal officials can share their challenges on a "consultation basis" and explore solutions with companies, universities, and organizations.
As of October 2025, it has registered 25,000 companies and 120 local government bodies.
Municipalities that have used the platform have achieved high results, with an average consultation rate of 58% and a project commercialization rate of 38%.
The most significant feature of Local Hub is that municipalities can use all functions completely free of charge.
Even with budget constraints, they can utilize all features without limitation, including registration, project posting, messaging with companies, and document sharing.
Additionally, it provides mechanisms that enable self-sustaining "dialogue-based co-creation," such as:
- A creation navigation function that allows for easy creation of regional issues/projects
- A reverse matching function where companies can express "interest"
- A matching function that allows municipalities to proactively contact companies
Crowdsien will continue to support the practice of public-private co-creation, enabling each municipal official to start small, with "essential public-private co-creation" as its keyword.
