Hyogo Kobe has been working on various cutting-edge initiatives to become an innovative city who transcend the boundaries of local government. For instance, we have carried out initiatives, such as to accelerate the business growth of startups in Japan and overseas, to collaborate between the governmental sector and startups to solve administrative issues, and financial support by Investment fund. In addition, Innovation Center, which aims to solve the SDG’s issues with innovative technologies, was launched by UNOPS and is expected to be a gateway to the global market of SDGs issues.
