Scrum Studio Launches Third Year of SmartCityX Open Innovation Program
Scrum Studio Inc. announced the launch of the third year of SmartCityX, an open innovation program helping startups advance products through collaboration with corporations, local governments, and investors from Japan and around the world. As part of the launch, Scrum Studio also announced that TV Asahi Corporation will be a partner – joining the program’s eight other partner corporations and seven municipalities in driving innovation for cities of the future.
Designed for entrepreneurs developing disruptive technologies that transform the way we live, learn, and work, this year’s program seeks companies leveraging innovative technologies focused on four thematic areas, including Mobility, Metaverse, Regional Wellness, and Lifestyle Transformation. Given the opportunities for growth in these sectors, Scrum Studio will also look closely at startups with particularly outstanding co-creation ideas for investment consideration.
Now in its third year, the program has helped facilitate more than 15 promising collaborations between startups, Japanese corporations, and cities – establishing Japan as one of the foremost innovators in smart-city technologies. Most recently, Hakuhodo and Japan Airlines launched an “Experience-Based NFT” demonstration project in Toba City, Mie Prefecture, and Amami City, Kagoshima Prefecture. Leveraging web3 technology, the program’s experiential NFT products raise awareness for Japan’s regional areas and help attract local and international visitors.
