Tokyo-based technology firm Information Strategy <\/span>and <\/span>Technology has established a development and sales base in Kitakyushu, marking its first regional office.

The new office is located in BIZIA KOKURA, a cutting-edge building completed in July. The firm intends to collaborate with nearby institutions like the Kitakyushu City University, which is set to open a new digital academic department, by dispatching lecturers. President <\/span>Jun <\/span>Takai cited the area’s vibrant community and access to skilled talent from local universities as key factors in the decision.<\/span><\/p>\n

Mayor Kazuhisa Takeuchi highlighted the impact of IT firms in curbing youth and female population outflow, noting that the city has attracted 188 companies and created 4,610 jobs over the past decade.
