Creative Smart Rokko Mountains

Posted on: 3. October 2022

Under the Creative Smart Rokko Mountains Initiative that we have been promoting since May 2020, we aim to create a comfortable and attractive business space by improving the business environment on Mt. Rokko.

In March 2021, ROKKONOMAD opened as a locus for business exchange on the mountain.

Positioned as a co-creation lab, it provides an environment that facilitates creative and intensive work, and it also encourages collaboration through exchange events that involve not only the companies using the facility but also the surrounding workspaces, hotels, and cafes.

The Be Smart KOBE Project supports the resolution of social issues by businesses that employ cutting-edge technology and data, and four projects have been implemented on Mt. Rokko thus far.Our goal is to bring together different kinds of cutting-edge technology to create comfortable leisure, living, and work environments. In the 2020 fiscal year, we supported experiments such as unmanned drone deliveries and a monitoring service for Rokko Cable Car passengers using facial recognition technology. We also conducted an experiment to measure the effect of “workations” on Mt. Rokko through the collection and analysis of vital data. By creating office spaces in harmony with nature, as well as attracting creative people and companies, Mt. Rokko offers work styles such as remote working and workations that are ideal for the COVID-19 era.
