This program will introduce examples of the government's "Regional Revitalization 2.0" initiative, including efforts to increase regional attractiveness through open factories, and the creation of new local economies that increase earning power and generate added value.
Reports
【Reflection】
In this program, we introduced examples of the government’s “Regional Revitalization 2.0” initiative, such as efforts to boost local appeal through open factories (public factory tours). These initiatives aim to strengthen earning power and create a new, value-added local economy.
Through this program, we were able to show—using leading case studies—that regional revitalization can be achieved when the public and private sectors work together, make use of local strengths and resources to attract people, and when communities themselves recognize their own appeal and actively promote it. We believe this helped visitors gain a deeper understanding of how regional revitalization can take shape.
【Post EXPO Initiatives】
Even after this program, the government continues to work toward the vision outlined in the Basic Policy for Regional Revitalization 2.0, which was approved by the Cabinet on June 13, 2025. Based on this policy, our goal is to create a sustainable society where everyone—whether in urban or rural areas—can live happily, safely, and securely. At the same time, we aim to build “fun and attractive regions” that are appealing to young people and women.
To promote this vision, we are holding forums in five locations across Japan to showcase leading local initiatives and inspire broader public engagement. Alongside these forums, we are also providing financial support to local governments through grant programs, while actively raising awareness through lectures and other outreach activities at various events.
