DEA and LobbyAI Partner to Build a Social Implementation Model Accelerating Public-Private Collaboration, Eyeing the Establishment of the "Disaster Management Agency" in November 2026

Digital Entertainment Asset Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, DEA), which develops social problem-solving games, and LobbyAI Co., Ltd. (hereinafter, LobbyAI), a policy DX startup that supports policy and local government approaches, have commenced a business alliance aimed at building a new social problem-solving model that integrates gamification and policy lobbying.

With the government's establishment of the "Disaster Management Agency" (scheduled for November 2026), disaster prevention measures in local governments are urgently needed. This partnership aims to achieve both "on-site implementation," where citizens participate enjoyably, and "policy connection," optimized for local government decision-making. Starting with disaster prevention and infrastructure inspection, they will promote rapid social implementation across local governments nationwide.

Background Effective Public-Private Co-creation Required in the "First Year of Lobbying"

In 2026, as lobbying in Japan becomes more transparent and strategic, it is no exaggeration to say that integrating excellent corporate solutions into local government budgets and plans holds the key to solving social issues.

Challenges DEA's initiatives, such as "PicTrée" and "Disaster Championship," have achieved significant results in engaging citizens. However, "policy-oriented proposals" tailored to each local government's budget cycle and specific regional priority issues were key to further expansion.

Solutions By utilizing LobbyAI's AI-powered administrative and parliamentary data analysis platform, they will structurally analyze local government comprehensive plans and disaster prevention plans. This will identify the optimal timing and channels where DEA's solutions are most needed. By synchronizing with local government long-term plans instead of ending with one-off measures, the scheme will evolve into a "sustainable scheme" that increases resident participation with each iteration.

Specific Collaboration Details - Support for Policy Deployment of "Disaster Championship 2026" to National Local Governments In "PicTrée Disaster Championship 2026," initiated by DEA to promote the visualization of evacuation centers, LobbyAI will analyze disaster prevention plans and budget information of local governments nationwide. This will support strategic approaches to local governments with high affinity for introduction.

- Data Co-creation of "Policy Trends × User Behavior" LobbyAI will analyze "national policy directions and local assembly trends," and combine this with "citizen behavior data" obtained through DEA's games. This will visualize potential issues faced by local governments (such as aging infrastructure or lack of awareness of evacuation shelters) and enable evidence-based public-private partnership proposals.

- Establishment of a Sustainable Social Implementation OS They will jointly promote the design and construction of a digital participation platform that encourages citizen behavioral change and connects it to local government decision-making processes.

Expected Effects - Accelerated introduction speed of social problem-solving projects in anticipation of the Disaster Management Agency's establishment. - Improved accuracy of collaboration with local governments and enhanced decision-making connectivity in the disaster prevention domain. - Construction of a sustainable business model for disaster prevention measures utilizing citizen participation data.

In particular, with an eye on the policy promotion environment after the establishment of the Disaster Management Agency, the establishment of a social implementation model adapted to local government decision-making processes and nationwide horizontal expansion are expected.
