Department of City Branding and Promotion, Yao City
Joined Yao City and worked in different genres of departments such as welfare, taxation, and human resources, and has been working in the Industrial Policy Division since 2013. As part of the government’s economic stimulus measures, she was in charge of creating a local development project, a business start-up support plan, the launch of the public-private partnership platform “MISERU BAYAO”, and a project to bring together small and medium-sized companies from Yao City to exhibit at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion at the 2025 Osaka/Kansai Expo. He promoted the “YAOKONTON” project to realize innovation in Yao’s town factories, which was introduced in the “Design White Paper 2024,” a report on design-related initiatives by various prefectures, companies, and governments, and Yao was featured in the Cabinet Office’s Digital Rural City State Initiative “Creating Attractive Regions. Yao has been featured in the Cabinet Office’s Digital Rural City Nation Initiative, “Creating an Attractive Region.
The team and overall strength of Yao’s Ribbon Challenge is simply amazing. In recent years, an increasing number of companies in Yao have been looking to expand the sales channels for their products overseas, and I expect that the Expo will provide the perfect opportunity to encourage this trend. I want to do my best so that when we look back, we will be able to say that the Expo was a transitional period that changed Yao’s industry.
