Foval Takes On Digital Transformation Support Project for Fukuoka City
Foval Takes On Digital Transformation Support Project for Fukuoka City
Foval Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has officially announced its acceptance of a new project titled "Digital Utilization Support Project" from the city of Fukuoka. The aim of this initiative is to assist small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Fukuoka with their digital transformation efforts, ultimately enhancing labor productivity through comprehensive support that includes planning, implementation, and improvement.
Background and Objectives of the Project
In recent times, many SMEs have been facing severe labor shortages. This situation has necessitated effective use of their limited management resources to ensure business continuity and growth. Foval believes it's crucial for both managers and employees to recognize the need for digital utilization and continuously strive for operational efficiency and productivity enhancement.
A survey conducted by Fukuoka City on the promotion of SMEs indicates that about 80% of businesses are involved in some form of digital transformation (categorized as stages 1 to 3). However, the degree of progress varies significantly among companies. Moreover, businesses that have progressed with digitalization tend to exhibit higher profit margins per employee, indicating a correlation between digital initiatives and productivity gains.
To address these circumstances, Foval's project will involve a series of initiatives aimed at SMEs in Fukuoka, such as seminars providing informational resources, digital progress assessments, the establishment of consultation desks, and personalized support tailored to each company's digital challenges. By offering this targeted assistance, Foval aims to facilitate improved operational efficiencies, increased labor productivity, and enhanced sales capabilities among local businesses.
Scope of Work
The project entails several key components, including:
1. Development and operation of a dedicated business website.
2. Hosting seminars targeted at business owners.
3. Conducting assessments of digital transformation progress.
4. Establishing and managing consultation desks to provide support.
5. Offering individual support, including guidance and talent development.
6. Conducting overall promotional activities.
7. Performing research and effectiveness evaluations.
Upcoming Seminar Information
As part of this initiative, Foval will host a series of seminars aimed at promoting digital transformation among SMEs in Fukuoka. Two upcoming seminars are scheduled as follows:
- - Date: September 24, 2026 (Thursday) 13:30 – 15:00
