BASE Inc. Partners with Kagoshima Education Board

In a groundbreaking initiative, BASE Inc., which operates the online shop creation service "BASE" and shopper service "Pay ID," has signed a partnership agreement with the Kagoshima Board of Education. This collaboration aims to boost career education through e-commerce for high school students in Kagoshima Prefecture.

On April 23, 2026, BASE and the Kagoshima Education Board formalized their collaboration by signing an agreement focused on educational cooperation in e-commerce. BASE is renowned for its accessible online shop creation service, which has empowered over 2.5 million shops across Japan. This significant milestone reflects the company’s commitment to fostering economic activity through its mission, "Payment to the People, Power to the People."

Background of the Collaboration

The partnership stems from BASE's strategic goals to enhance the economic environment for diverse communities. With its user-friendly platform, BASE enables anyone to easily create and manage an online shop, making it particularly appealing for individuals and small teams wishing to showcase their brands and products. As part of this partnership, BASE will share valuable insights and expertise in e-commerce with high school students and educators, fostering a stronger foundation for career development in the digital marketplace.

Details of the Agreement

The agreement marks a significant step forward in promoting e-commerce education in Kagoshima's public high schools that offer commercial courses. BASE plans to deliver hands-on classes that leverage its online shop creation service, focusing on:

1. E-commerce Instruction: Teaching students how to create and manage their online shops through BASE’s platform.
2. Teacher Training: Providing professional development for educators to ensure they can effectively convey e-commerce concepts to their students.

By enriching commercial education and entrepreneur training through e-commerce, the initiative aims to empower students to take charge of their futures and adapt to the demands of an increasingly digital society.

Specific Initiatives

Expecting to launch with classes at Kagoshima Prefectural Kuriyoshi Commercial High School, noted for its strong commercial curriculum, BASE’s representatives will instruct students through experiential learning. Participants will gain firsthand experience in setting up their e-commerce websites without needing technical coding skills. This practical training will equip students with the necessary knowledge and perspectives on running an online business, enhancing their prospects for future careers.

Future Outlook

Looking ahead to 2026, BASE and the Kagoshima Education Board are committed to implementing these engaging e-commerce lessons, starting at the identified high school. Concrete details regarding the schedule and content of the classes will be announced soon.
