April 2022 ～

In Kumamoto Prefecture, the “Kumamoto DX Grand Design” was formulated in 2021 aiming to maximize the overall happiness of residents. Industry, academia, and government are united to promote initiatives toward realizing this vision.
Our company has been continuously supporting this effort from the early stages of policy formulation, including launching a consortium involving private companies, and assisting steady dissemination.

Challenges

• Super-aging society and population decline (declining birthrate and aging population)
• Delay in digitalization and DX (Digital Transformation)
• Strengthening responses to large-scale disasters and climate change
• Building a decarbonized society

Support Details

Since April 2022, Kumamoto Prefecture established a new “Digital Strategy Bureau” within the Planning and Promotion Department to promote DX both inside and outside the government.
Our company’s CEO, Mr. Senoo, has been appointed as Digital Strategy Director (equivalent to department head) to provide expert advice. Additionally, two digital strategy specialists, Mr. Furuyama and Mr. Fujii, offer advice and support on various digital initiatives.

We continue to conduct DX training sessions (lectures and workshops) to promote practical DX skills for each staff member, and we work to revitalize the DX promotion consortium through ongoing information dissemination and initiatives.
