Miyake Town, Nara Prefecture and Creww launch "Miyake Local Startup," a program to support entrepreneurs!

About "Miyake Local Startup

Miyake Local Startup" is a program to create new businesses in Miyake-cho together with people who are willing to tackle local issues with free ideas, in order to realize Miyake-cho's vision of "a small town where people can live happily in their own way" 20 years from now.

This program aims to nurture entrepreneurs from Miyake-cho who will go out to the rest of the country and the world, and to nurture the soil for Miyake to become "Miyake for start-ups".

In FY2023, we will offer a six-month entrepreneurship course (Accelerator), a symposium (Conference), and a digital information dissemination course (Web 3.0 School).
