Mr. Ohya has been working on regional revitalization centered on corporate attraction and digital human resource development in Amakusa City, Kumamoto Prefecture. His initiatives are grounded in the realities of the local community and include building sustainable relationships between businesses and the region, developing telework environments that allow for the balance of work with childcare and caregiving, and creating platforms that support diverse workstyles.
