Cultive to Hold Three "First-Time Corporate Furusato Nozei" Seminars for New Municipal Officials

Cultive Inc. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture, CEO: Kiyoshi Ikeda, hereinafter referred to as "Cultive"), which operates the regional issue-solving platform "river," will hold a seminar on the "Corporate Furusato Nozei" system for new municipal officials.

This seminar, now in its 5th year, is designed to systematically explain the fundamental knowledge required for practical work to municipal employees newly appointed to corporate Furusato Nozei. To date, it has been held 11 times, with over 250 municipal employees participating.

In fiscal year 2026, it will be held on three dates: Thursday, April 16th, Thursday, May 14th, and Thursday, June 11th.

The content will cover basics such as "System Overview," "Key Points of System Design," and "Relationship Between National Strategy and Regional Regeneration Plans," as well as introducing examples from other municipalities, methods for explaining to companies, tips for effective information dissemination, and practical tools.

Furthermore, the regional issue-solving platform "river" has supported collaborations between municipalities and companies utilizing Corporate Furusato Nozei since its launch. This seminar will deliver practical content based on our support achievements.

Our experienced instructors will provide content that goes a step further than introductory seminars for municipalities. We encourage new appointees from April and those who are anxious about understanding the system to participate.
