Re:ADY B / Setouchi Future Design Inc. (Head office: Hiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, CEO: Noda karin (Yokoi Karin) , hereinafter referred to as Setouchi Future Design ) has been selected for the acceleration program "PANORAMA" sponsored by Hiroshima Prefecture, and was awarded the Excellence Award at the final presentation held recently.

What is PANORAMA ?
The Innovation Hub Hiroshima Camps (hereinafter referred to as Camps), established and run by Hiroshima Prefecture, runs an acceleration program every year to support the activities of "challengers" who aim to create new business ideas and expand their businesses.
This is the 8th period, and the name has been changed from "RING HIROSHIMA" to a new program called "PANORAMA."
The Camps create a favorable environment (innovation ecosystem) where people, funds, information, and other resources come together and combine to generate new connections and innovation. This program is also held with the aim of generating a succession of new ideas and challenges.

[Program details]
The core of this program is that the Camps serve as base camps, the people who take on the challenge are called "climbers," and the supporters who accompany them are called "sherpas," and they all work together to tackle the mountains that the climbers are aiming for.
In addition to providing various types of support such as workshops, study sessions, follow-up interviews, and presentations, the project also provided support over a four-month period by matching participants with "supporters" who would provide partial financial support for activities and advice on business plans and product verification. This time, Setouchi Mirai Design participated as a climber (challenger).

Climber (challenger)
Companies and individuals in Hiroshima Prefecture who are aiming to create new business ideas or expand their operations can refine their prototypes and services and verify their marketability and business models with the support of sherpas (supporters).

  • Cost support: Up to 400,000 yen (tax included) per person (up to half the cost required for prototyping and demonstration, etc.)

  • Individual support by Sherpas (supporters)

  • A variety of support events, including workshops, study sessions, follow-up interviews, and presentations

Sherpa (supporter)
Our elite team of climbers from all over the country will provide individual support to help climbers (challengers) realize their passion and aspirations.

  • Supporter training and study sessions

  • Forming horizontal connections through workshops and networking events


[Report from the final presentation]
During PANORAMA, Setouchi Mirai Design was actively promoting its business, including launching its brand, conducting market research in the United States, raising funds, and starting collaborations with six companies in Hiroshima Prefecture.

At the final presentation, we received the Excellence Award for being highly evaluated among the companies selected for the program for our business activities, future potential, and contribution to society. We are confident that this will earn us even more trust and expectations in our future business development. We would like to express our deep gratitude to our supporter "sherpa" Koji Ueno for his generous advice and support, who accompanied us throughout the process.
