Nurturing Project of New Kyoto Brands
Not only as a city of traditional industry, but Kyoto is also a home of a number of small and medium sized companies with high level technology, IT related high-tech companies, universities and research institutions. Based on those foundations, Kyoto is an ideal place to create new industries and to revitalize existing industries using IT related technology and the latest research achievements.
With those advantages, active promotion plans are taken to support small and medium sized companies in Kyoto prefecture to nurture new industry or venture business to form the “New Kyoto Brand”, for example, 1) IT related field including mobile phone technology, 2) experiment industry related field, 3) healthcare creation (wellness) industry related field, 4) environment related field, 5) movie and image industry related field.

The Kyoto IT Bazaar Framework is a plan with aim of forming a large scale industrial base in the southern area of Kyoto prefecture, like Silicon Valley in the United States, taking advantage of Kyoto’s industrial characteristics: coexistence of both traditional industry and small and medium sized companies with world-leading IT related high technology and high level “manufacturing” techniques, research institutions including many universities and Kansai Science City, history and culture and rich information source (contents) based on Kyoto Brand, etc.
Creating of Experiment Manufacturing Industry
To promote an active participation of small and medium sized companies to the “experiment manufacturing industry” and to nurture the “experiment manufacturing industry” as Kyoto’s new brand industry, information transmission and expanding new order intake will be taken through having a booth in the popular exhibitions to let the world know Kyoto as a “center of experiment manufacturing”.
