Transforming the Future: Zenjob Town in Zenzoji City

Zenzoji City, located in Kagawa Prefecture, is set to host a pioneering IT event called "Zenjob Town" starting from October 19, 2025. Organized by the city's mayor, Shu Tsujimura, in collaboration with Basic Group Co., Ltd. led by CEO Enshun Zhang, this initiative aims to address the challenge of youth migration by creating a sustainable community-oriented platform for skill development and creativity.

Event Overview

Zenjob Town unfolds over three consecutive months:

• - DAY 1: October 19, 2025 (Sunday) 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
• - DAY 2: November 16, 2025 (Sunday) 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM
• - DAY 3: December 21, 2025 (Sunday) 9:30 AM - 4:00 PM

Location: 4th Floor, Zenzoji City Hall
Organizers: Zenzoji City Policy Department and Basic Group Co., Ltd.

Zenjob Town is more than just a one-time event. It aspires to cultivate a community where individuals can realize their passions and ambitions through technology and innovation—a long-term vision for urban development.

Community-Driven Approach

One key objective of Zenjob Town is to shift from a government-led initiative to a platform where citizens take the lead. The envisioned journey consists of three essential steps:
1. Initiation by Government: The local administration serves as the catalyst for the event.
2. Citizen Participation: The community members become the main actors in managing and running the event.
3. Autonomous Community Development: Eventually, the community operates independently, nurturing new activities and businesses.

This initiative intends to foster a rich ecosystem that values innovation, encouraging diverse groups including students, professionals, companies, and local governance to engage actively and collaboratively.

Diverse Offerings for Future Careers

The inaugural year of Zenjob Town focuses on the theme of "IT × Vocational Experience." The event features:

• - Open Participation Booths: AI portrait creation, drone photography experiences, video production workshops, and business card creation.
• - Reservation Required Booths: Courses on Google Sheets, automated digital tools, and web design.

From young children to adults, attendees can engage with cutting-edge technology, including drone operation and AI-generated portraits. The reserved sessions impart practical skills that are vital in today’s digital landscape, ensuring that participants gain relevant and applicable knowledge.

Technology as a Tool for Future Creation

While the initial year’s focus is on advanced tech experiences, it’s crucial to remember that IT serves merely as a springboard for fostering creative exploration. The ultimate goal of Zenjob Town is to instill a sense of curiosity and inspire attendees to think, "This could be exciting!" or "I might be capable of accomplishing this."

Vision for the Future

Zenjob Town aspires to evolve into a local hub where people’s desires to learn and create converge. Following these three events, the expectation is that new startups and projects will flourish, fostering a community where young people feel encouraged to pursue their aspirations. This will contribute to a vibrant, sustainable future in Zenzoji City, filled with opportunity and innovation.
