Forval Corporation (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President: Masanori Nakajima; hereinafter 'Forval') is supporting the operation of the 'Tokushima Prefecture Municipal DX Practical Seminar' as part of its commissioned project, 'Tokunowa-based Regional Issue Resolution Promotion Business,' entrusted by Tokushima Prefecture. Forval dispatches community managers to the Tokushima DX Promotion HUB 'Tokunowa' to support facility operations, community revitalization, and information dissemination. Tokushima Prefecture will launch the 'Tokushima Prefecture Municipal DX Practical Seminar' on June 25, 2026, aimed at resolving challenges in the implementation phase of municipal DX and expanding these solutions nationwide.
As the contractor for this project, Forval will support the promotion of this initiative through event planning, operation, and information dissemination based at 'Tokunowa'.
Background and Purpose
In recent municipal DX efforts, as cloud utilization under security constraints becomes necessary, an increasing number of municipalities are considering the introduction of 'Google Workspace' and 'Zero Trust Security.' However, when they begin to consider these, the reality is that frontline staff are often left in the dark, struggling with questions like 'What criteria should we use to evaluate this?' or 'What should we confirm with vendors, and how do we judge the reasonableness of costs?' In practice, there are numerous hurdles to clearing municipal-specific requirements, such as moving away from traditional perimeter defense, integrating with LGWAN, and designing operations for BYOD (Bring Your Own Device). These cannot be solved by system introduction alone; sharing knowledge based on actual operations is essential.
Tokushima Prefecture has proactively utilized Google Workspace, Chrome Enterprise Premium (CEP), and Google Cloud to build an operational model that balances a secure cloud environment with flexible work styles, accumulating a wealth of practical knowledge. Therefore, this seminar will pick up and explain the 'challenging points' that municipalities inevitably face during implementation from a municipal perspective, in order to share the real-world know-how gained through these operations with municipalities across the country.
Forval aims to support the resolution of specific challenges faced by each municipality through promoting interaction at the Tokushima DX Promotion HUB 'Tokunowa,' and to promote the spread of highly reproducible DX promotion models. By doing so, it aims to go beyond mere information provision to facilitate the horizontal deployment of implementable know-how, create co-creation opportunities in the municipal DX market, and strengthen a continuous business foundation.
Seminar Overview
This seminar is a series-type program held over 10 sessions starting in late June 2026. It will be conducted in a hybrid format, using the Tokushima DX Promotion HUB 'Tokunowa' as the venue and combining it with online streaming. Speakers will consist of the Tokushima Prefecture Information Policy Division and vendor companies in various fields. Practitioners who have introduced Google Workspace and Google Cloud will explain the process and challenge responses from the conceptual stage to operational establishment.
The first session will be open to municipal staff and IT businesses nationwide to share knowledge widely. From the second session onwards, it will be a closed format for municipal staff and 'Tokunowa' group members to engage in more specific and practical discussions.
