Nessu Inc. (Headquarters: Setagaya-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Yuki Kido), an impact startup aiming to eliminate opportunity gaps for children, participated for the first time in the Public Day of 'SusHi Tech Tokyo 2026,' one of Asia's largest global innovation events, held at Tokyo Big Sight from April 27 to April 29, 2026.

At its booth, the company showcased 'Kodomo Furusato Bin' (https://kodomo-furusato.com/), a service that leverages the 'Furusato Nozei' (hometown tax donation) system to deliver regional specialties to children's cafeterias, single-parent households, and children facing rare diseases, thereby creating opportunities for food and life experiences.

◆ Event Overview 'SusHi Tech Tokyo' is a major global innovation conference themed around realizing sustainable cities through high technology. The Public Day was designed for audiences of all ages to learn about innovation in a fun and engaging way.

◆ Exhibit Content and Attendee Response Nessu prepared interactive exhibits, including a 'gacha-gacha' (capsule toy) game that intuitively allowed visitors to experience how the 'Kodomo Furusato Bin' service allows donors to choose which local children receive their support while still receiving return gifts themselves.

On the day, 357 groups experienced the activity, with many visitors expressing interest in trying the system for their own Furusato Nozei donations this year.

◆ About 'Kodomo Furusato Bin' 'Kodomo Furusato Bin' allows donors to participate in supporting children as part of their Furusato Nozei contributions. Donors can select the region or organization for their donations, enabling a 'purpose-driven' contribution model.

Launched officially in December 2025 in collaboration with six municipalities and organizations including Asahikawa City and Miyakonojo City, the service plans to expand to 10–20 regions during the 2026 fiscal year.
