The Local Web3 Collaboration Association (Representative Director: Toshitaka Ueda) and the Minato City Industrial Promotion Center (Managed by Minato Campus Relo Group) have launched 'Minakuru Quest' (MCQ), a selective, non-evaluative co-creation program in Minato City designed to build sustainable relationships where challenges do not end. Starting June 1, 2026, they are accepting applications for Season 1, targeting approximately 30 middle and high school students living or attending school in Minato City.

MCQ is not a standard business contest. It is a new infrastructure for innovation that leverages web3 and DAO (Decentralized Autonomous Organization) mechanics to support students' pure inquiries. Adults are there to provide full-hearted support, not to judge based on school grades.

Key features include: - Adults acting as 'fans' and supporters rather than judges. - The goal being 'real-world implementation' rather than just a presentation. - Visualizing the process of 'failure' and 'conflict' as valuable parts of the narrative.

Participating companies and local entities aim to co-create and generate new value by engaging with students' sharp perspectives rather than merely providing one-way educational support.
