Regional Revitalization Startup 'Zenryoku Suguru' Announces Donation Ceremony at Miyagi University

Sendai-based Regional Revitalization Startup 'Zenryoku Suguru' Announces Donation to Miyagi University

Zenryoku Suguru Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Sendai, Miyagi Prefecture; Representative Director: Suguru Kanno), a company specializing in regional revitalization and publisher of Japan's first municipal management magazine for government leaders, 'Mayor Magazine,' announced a donation to Miyagi University. The donation, facilitated through the '77 SDGs Private Placement Bond' from 77 Bank, aims to support the development of talent for regional revitalization. A presentation ceremony will be held at Miyagi University's Yamato Campus on Wednesday, June 3rd, at 11:00 AM.

### Background In recent years, Miyagi Prefecture has recorded one of the highest rates in Japan for young people migrating to the Tokyo metropolitan area. The resulting economic loss for the prefecture is estimated to exceed 40 billion yen annually. Beyond economic figures, this 'brain drain' leads to a loss of human resources capable of inheriting unique local culture and industries, causing regional decline.

### Purpose of Donation Since its inception, Zenryoku Suguru has supported the creation of industries appealing to youth by attracting entrepreneurs and providing hands-on support in collaboration with local governments. They have shared their practical knowledge with students through initiatives like the 'Startup Support Center CULASTA' in Marumori Town and café operations in the Naruko Onsen area of Osaki City. By supporting Miyagi University's emphasis on 'practical science' and 'fieldwork,' they aim to contribute to the cultivation of 'regional entrepreneurs' who can root themselves in the community and create new value.

### Future Outlook Following this donation, the company will strengthen collaboration with the university in the following areas: - Providing Practical Knowledge: Lectures and seminars by members registered as Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications Regional Revitalization Advisors. - Career Support: Expanding internship opportunities and strengthening new graduate recruitment in the regional revitalization sector. - Seminar Collaboration: Building new industry-academia regional activation models with faculty and staff involved in regional revitalization.

### About Zenryoku Suguru Zenryoku Suguru is a venture company leading regional revitalization by combining 'Local Government x Business.' They operate through two core pillars: information dissemination via 'Mayor Magazine' and 'Regional Partner' initiatives that foster entrepreneurs in collaboration with local governments.
