Setting New Standards: The Launch of the ARCH Booster Plan for Corporate Innovation

Accelerating Innovation: The ARCH Booster Plan

In a bid to enhance corporate innovation, ARCH Toranomon Hills has rolled out an exciting new service called the "ARCH Booster Plan". This initiative, which takes effect on July 29, 2026, is the result of a collaborative effort between MORI Building Co., Ltd. and Persol Career Co., Ltd., aimed at facilitating new business development for large enterprises.

Understanding the Need for Innovation Support

With the rising demand for specialized insight among participating companies, ARCH provides a nurturing environment dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by these businesses. By fostering opportunities for collaboration and creating a culture conducive to innovation, ARCH supports a diverse range of enterprises. However, companies have encountered several obstacles when seeking external specialized personnel, including difficulties in selecting suitable candidates, confidentiality concerns, and complications related to cost and contracting.

To tackle these issues, ARCH's operating partner, HiPro, has tailored its freelance and side job personnel matching service, HiPro Direct, to create the ARCH Booster Plan. This innovative approach enables participating companies to efficiently and effectively access external expertise as needed. Through this plan, ARCH aims to fully leverage resources and know-how to accelerate the establishment of a distinctly Japanese innovation ecosystem.

Features of the ARCH Booster Plan

1. Direct Support from Experts: The ARCH office staff will work closely with selected professionals from the HiPro team, enabling direct support for the new business creation processes. This collaboration ensures that there is minimal information fragmentation, as the office staff remain up to date with the day-to-day operations and challenges of the participating companies.

2. Dedicated Professionals: Selected from HiPro’s exclusive database, professionals who deeply understand ARCH’s mission will serve as dedicated experts for each company. This unique assignment ensures that projects receive continuous support, allowing for a nuanced understanding of each business's distinct needs and objectives.

3. Collaborative Opportunities: Beyond individualized support, the ARCH team will utilize its extensive network among member companies and external resources to create proactive collaboration opportunities essential for driving business initiatives.

Overview of the ARCH Booster Plan

The ARCH Booster Plan is inherently designed to accelerate new business development for participating companies. With a database housing over 120,000 registered experts, HiPro will provide professionals who will dedicate a minimum of 10 hours per month to support businesses. Furthermore, the ARCH office will conduct assessments of each organization's challenges and leverage its network to generate collaboration opportunities. This sharing of information between the office and professional staff enables a seamless connection to uphold the advancement of entrepreneurial endeavors.
