Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, the vulnerability of the current infrastructure system to disasters from previous earthquakes has been exposed, and it has become clear that it will have a wide-ranging and serious impact. The construction of next-generation infrastructure for the future is essential, and there is a need to realize environmentally friendly locally produced and locally consumed power generation and decentralized smart communities as infrastructure that makes the region self-reliant.
In the future, with the aim of promoting economic circulation within the region, we will contribute to the creation of a city that will lead to the future together with the local people through further technological development.
