Elevating Local Business Productivity with AI and DX Consultation in Noshiro City

Noshiro City, under the leadership of Mayor Shigenobu Saito, is taking a proactive approach to address the pressing challenges faced by local businesses in terms of labor shortages and productivity. Scheduled for January 13 and 14, 2026, the city will host the "AI and DX Individual Consultation Session," aimed at enhancing business efficiency and productivity. This initiative is part of Noshiro City's efforts to attract and retain talent through its human resources support project aimed at alleviating labor shortages in rural areas.

Background: A Third Solution to Labor Shortages

As labor shortages become increasingly serious in rural cities, Noshiro City advocates for the use of technology alongside traditional personnel recruitment methods.
