Selected as a co-creation partner for the public-private partnership problem-solving program “So-I”
We are pleased to announce that eftax has been selected as a co-creation partner for the “So-I (KOBE BUSINESS PROGRAM)” Open Innovation Course.
“So-I” is an initiative by Kobe City that brings together the public and private sectors to foster continuous corporate growth and contribute to the realization of a prosperous society. We are honored to be chosen as a co-creation partner of Kyokko Electric Co., Ltd., which is participating in the “So-I Open Innovation Course.”
Kyokko Electric believes that 90% of the world’s problems can be solved through the power of sensors and services, and its theme is “Contributing to a Safe and Comfortable Society through the Power of Sensors and Services.”. We have been selected as a partner to approach the following issues through services such as data analysis, visualization, and AI algorithm development:
- Solving challenges faced by corporate users, both existing and potential.
- Addressing deep-tech issues such as those affecting socially vulnerable groups and labor-intesive industries.
- Supporting companies struggling with labor shortages.
We will collaborate on these efforts with the goal of demonstrating results by March 2025, within the fiscal year.
As a company based in Hyogo Prefecture, like Kyokko Electric, we are excited about the opportunity to solve both regional and global challenges through this co-creation effort.
