Support Activities for the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake
JAIST has been conducting the following support activities for the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake.
JAIST has experience in holding "Matching HUB" in Kumamoto for three years to support reconstruction from the Kumamoto Earthquake that occurred in April, 2016. We would like to make the most of this experience.
The "Matching HUB" organized by JAIST is a platform for developing the new products and the new business aimed at regional revitalization and local development, and many companies in Noto region have participated so far.
This task force will support Noto recovery by collecting current needs and seeds in the Noto region, responding to those requests, and providing matching support.
