Kobe City has commissioned eiicon to operate the 'OPEN NEXUS KOBE' project, which aims to create collaboration opportunities between Kobe-based companies and Tokyo metropolitan area companies. The project includes two co-creation programs: one for Kobe companies seeking Tokyo partners, and another for Tokyo companies looking to expand into Kobe. Applications are now open for the first program.
