This program is a joint effort by the Hiroshima Bank and Creww to create new businesses in Hiroshima Prefecture with the aim of building an innovation ecosystem in the prefecture.

This program, which will be held for the fifth time this year since its inception in 2019, has realized a number of collaboration studies in the past, and this year, as in previous years, will continue to link the diverse business domains and abundant management resources of participating companies in Hiroshima Prefecture ("participating companies") with the distinctive services of startups from across the country. This year, as in the past years, we aim to create new businesses for participating companies through open innovation.

In conjunction with the launch of this program, a dedicated website will be opened on the Creww website to begin soliciting collaboration proposals from startups nationwide. The selection of collaboration proposals as well as the promotion of matching and commercialization will be held online (Creww's platform).

After about six months of the program, a presentation of the results is scheduled to be held in May 2024.
