Open Innovation by Kumamoto City|Call for startups from all over Japan to create new businesses

熊本市は、柔軟な発想と優れた技術を持つスタートアップ※と地域の実情に詳しい市職員が協働して、地域や行政の抱える課題の解決策を開発し実装を図り、市民サービスの向上と新たなビジネスの創出の実現を目指すプロジェクト「Urban Innovation Kumamoto」を今年度から実施している。これに伴い、熊本市の目指す課題解決に共に取り組むスタートアップを募集する。

審査により選ばれたスタートアップと市職員は約4か月間に渡って共同開発を行い、市民によるテスト利用や市の業務内での試行導入・実証実験を経て、本格導入を検討していく。スタートアップにとっては、自治体職員や市民と協働することで、実証実験をする環境が手に入るというメリットがあり、ここで創出した新ビジネスを自社のサービスに進化させることが可能である。
※本事業は、神戸市で過去2年間に30件の実証実験を行ってきた実績をもつ「Urban Innovation JAPAN(アーバンイノベーションジャパン)」の枠組みを活用して実施するもので、九州の自治体では、熊本市が初めて活用する。
