The Research Institute of Regional Circulating Future is working toward the realization of sustainable local communities by focusing on “creating new value based on people and ICT.” Specifically, alongside government-led regional revitalization, we are working to build a new model in which local communities take the initiative in creating value. We focus on the unique attractions of each region (such as culture, food, nature, and history), and through the power of people and ICT, enhance these to create a circular flow of social and economic value. Various research studies and investigations are being conducted in different regions to achieve this.
The key to future regional revitalization lies in forming a broad network of players̶including individuals, businesses, and organizations̶who are actively engaged in the region, regardless of whether they reside there. By creating a vibrant lifestyle through this involvement, the Institute believes that regional revitalization can be achieved through collective efforts.
