The "Amagasaki Manufacturing Challenge Project," a co-creation project between Amagasaki's manufacturing companies and creators, will hold its 2nd term kick-off and 1st term results report meeting jointly.
In the first term last year, four Amagasaki manufacturing companies aiming to break away from subcontracting and improve their own brand participated.
First, an idea competition was held to solicit ideas from creators that leverage the technology and strengths of manufacturing companies. From the 92 ideas collected during the one-and-a-half-month application period, four were selected after two screening sessions. Four creators were chosen as co-creation partners.
For about half a year since then, we have challenged ourselves with product development, going through trial and error. As the culmination of this effort, we will unveil our masterpieces for the first time at this event.
Furthermore, starting from April 20th, the date of the event, we will also begin recruiting for the second term.
If you are interested in co-creation, product development, etc., please join us!
