OKB Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank operates the open innovation creation support hub “OKB SCLAMB” within Gifu University, aiming to foster regional open innovation through “promoting joint research,” “supporting startups,” and “supporting new business creation.” We are seeking startups that share our vision for this initiative.
Challenges we want to solve through co-creation:
Fostering regional business growth and revitalizing the local economy
Gifu Prefecture, where OKB Ogaki Kyoritsu Bank has its headquarters, is an area rich in natural resources and tourism assets, with thriving traditional craft industries such as ceramics and washi paper. However, in recent years, concerns have grown over the shrinking regional economy due to depopulation. We are seeking partners who can impact local businesses and the economy, aiming to revitalize the region.
