Tottori City's New Business Hub "Katokami" Opens, Promoting Creation of New Businesses Through Co-creation

Shibire Inc. (Headquarters: Chuo Ward, Tokyo; Representative Director: Midori Suzuki), which advocates a lifestyle not limited to Tokyo under the vision of "OFF TOKYO," has been entrusted with the promotion of Tottori City's new business hub, "Tottori City Machinaka Business Co-creation Square 'Katokami'." We are pleased to announce the facility overview as it prepares for its full opening.

Background of the Opening "Katokami" is a new business hub that renovated a stationery store beloved by the local community.

It is positioned as part of Tottori City's initiatives for urban revitalization, addressing the challenges of youth outflow and the decline of the central urban area. The aim is to create a place where diverse people, including companies from within and outside the prefecture, aspiring entrepreneurs, citizens, students, and government officials, can gather and connect, fostering the birth of new businesses.
