With great pride, SeiRogai, Inc. announces its selection as one of Top 50 startups for the prestigious “Digital Garden City Nation Initiative – Digital Implementation Type,” which is sponsored by the Japanese Cabinet Office. Prime Minister Kishida has set the “the Vision for a Digital Garden City Nation” as his signature policy. As a company that specializes in providing immersive virtual tours that capture the alluring spirit of Japan, we have received recognition for our dedication to leveraging the newest VR technology to develop Japan’s tourism strategy.
About the Vision for Digital Garden City Nation Initiative
The “Digital Garden City Nation Initiative”, also known as “Digiden”, is a remarkable project that empowers local governments to leverage digital technology to solve regional challenges. This policy strategy aims to promote digitalization to accelerate and intensify the revitalization of regional economies, with the ultimate goal of offering those living in rural areas access to information and services on par with urban areas, leveraging regional social issues as fuel leading to the bottom-up growth of the country.
One of Digiden’s key policy strategies is to promote matching between regions with issues and startups that have the necessary technology and know-how to solve them. SeiRogai, Inc. has been selected as one of Top 50 startups to be eligible as a TYPE 1 project of this prestigious initiative, recognizing our unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional services that facilitate the realization of this vision. Selection in this category is awarded to smart city projects that prove to be excellent model services for their horizontal implementation across targeted locations.
With the support of the Digiden Grant, we are working together to encourage digitization in local communities and contribute to regional revitalization efforts. SeiRogai’s DX tourism (Digital tourism) platforms and virtual tours are a wonderful fit for this project as it brings us one step closer to realizing our purpose in alliance with the Digital Garden City Nation program.
