FoundingBase, a company co-creating community development projects with 25 municipalities across Japan (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Kenji Yamamoto), announced that projects in four municipalities it supports under the 'Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur System' have been featured in the 'FY2025 Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur Case Study Collection' published by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).

FoundingBase has been leveraging this system to bring private-sector expertise to solve local challenges, co-creating projects in areas such as city promotion, education, and tourism. The recognition by the MIC highlights the company's established processes and results.

The featured municipalities are: - Takagi Village, Nagano Prefecture - Abu Town, Yamaguchi Prefecture - Toyo Town, Kochi Prefecture - Otoyo Town, Kochi Prefecture

FoundingBase employs 'regional revitalization professional talent'—individuals with extensive experience in not only business but also on-site project launch and management. For new initiatives where municipalities might otherwise be hesitant due to personnel or budget risks, FoundingBase's scheme minimizes those burdens by deploying professional experts, enabling municipalities to launch projects on a small scale and verify results on the ground.

The company is currently hosting online individual consultation meetings for local government officials interested in utilizing external talent programs, such as the Regional Revitalization Entrepreneur System or the Local Cooperation Squad program, to propose optimal schemes tailored to local challenges.
