Co-Creation Acceleration Promotion Program

A program where diverse players meet, learn, and create together.

Building on the results of our past matching sessions, this participatory program lets participants learn and connect through content tailored to their needs and areas of interest.
We have partnered with PLUG AND PLAY JAPAN—which operates an innovation platform driving co-creation and has run numerous open innovation support and accelerator programs—to enhance the effectiveness of co-creation and provide concrete co-creation support.

Meet-up Box

Meet-up Box is an online communication tool operated by the Japan Automobile Manufacturers Association (JAMA).
It connects companies and organizations facing challenges with companies and research institutions that have the technology, services, and expertise to solve them.
Not limited to the mobility field, it gathers co-creation themes and proposals from a wide range of industries,
creating encounters with companies and organizations you may never have connected with before.
From finding new partners to solving challenges, joint development, and exploring new businesses,
it opens up opportunities for co-creation that go beyond industry boundaries.
