Fukuoka City is actively supporting entrepreneurs and developing innovation with the aim of becoming startup city. Innovation is being spurred, particularly in IT sector, by the state-of-art technologies such as AI and IoT, whereas the role of engineers has become even more important as they are instrumental in making those technologies available in the form of new products and services.Fukuoka already has favorable environment where engineers can fully realize their potential.
Unmatched liberality, well-developed urban functions, delicious food and neighborhood nature, all of local resources are compactly consolidated within the city. On top of that, the city provides engineers with opportunities for intellectual stimulation and access to abundant information.
With various engineers communities in the city they spark off chemical reactions by encountering different perspectives and ideas through meet-ups at workshops or information-sharing activity. Along with various startup assistance programs, city’s supportive service drive vibrant collaboration.We have made some progress, but there is still much more work to be done to create more inspirational and satisfactory environment for engineers.
