Nelfin Co., Ltd., a Toyama-based startup, has been selected for Toyama Prefecture's Digi-PoC TOYAMA demonstration experiment. The project uses an AI platform called 'Toyama Chimubusu' to address the shortage of community activity leaders, worsened by declining birthrate and aging population. A prefectural survey found 31.9% of residents want to participate. The first explanatory meeting is in late July.
Nelfin Co., Ltd., founded in Toyama Prefecture in April 2026, will build the 'Toyama Chimubusu' platform under the Reiwa 8 fiscal year's Digi-PoC TOYAMA project. The platform's AI listens to community groups, breaks problems into one-hour tasks, and matches residents by interest and skill. A prefectural survey found that 31.9% of residents want to participate in community activities, but the challenge is connecting them to opportunities. The AI also offers a knowledge function that shares past solutions visualized on a map. The first explanatory meeting and app unveiling is scheduled for late July.
