Coconala Inc., headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, has made a significant mark in the freelance industry with its service, Coconala Tech. The company recently received the Bronze award at the Freelance Agent Award 2026, hosted by Instantroom Inc. in the same Tokyo district. This prestigious recognition comes from among 328 nominated companies, highlighting Coconala Tech as one of the top 30 standout agents gaining steady support in the sector.
The Freelance Agent Award 2026 is a pioneering initiative in Japan, aimed at acknowledging companies among over 300 freelance agents that have received exceptional evaluations. The award's determination results from user voting by freelance engineers and recommendations from industry insiders, ensuring that evaluations are carried out on objective criteria.
Coconala Tech's achievement is a testament to its robust service offering and the endorsement received from the freelance community it serves. We are deeply thankful to the freelance engineers and stakeholders who supported us, contributing to this recognition.
In the context of Japan's rapid acceleration in digital transformation (DX), the demand for IT personnel is also rising. According to the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's survey on IT human resources, a shortfall of approximately 790,000 IT professionals is anticipated by 2030. This challenge prompted Coconala Tech to establish itself as an agent addressing the acute shortage of developers in the field.
The company not only assists organizations in securing necessary human resources but also enhances the working conditions of freelancers through its welfare service, ‘furiwell.’ This multifaceted support aims to tackle issues faced by both companies and freelancers alike.
Coconala Tech views the recent Bronze award as a recognition of its diverse project and talent lineup, which includes over 6,000 client companies and more than 24,000 registered freelancers. It has successfully set up a follow-up system that allows freelancers to work securely over the long term.
Building on this success, Coconala Tech is committed to creating an environment where every freelancer can shine as a professional and live out their individual narratives. The mission is to accelerate the realization of maximizing the potential of individuals and serving as a bridge that supports corporate innovation. Coconala Tech aims to continuously enhance its services.
According to Toshin Kondo, Business Director at Coconala Tech, the Bronze award is a tremendous honor that reflects the appreciation from actual freelance engineers using their services. They are eager to reach higher accolades such as Silver and Gold by expanding their support and framework for freelancers. This includes enhancing systems that facilitate diverse work styles, whether it be transitioning from a freelancer to a full-time employee or vice versa.
Coconala Tech plays a pivotal role in strengthening the freelance community and fostering an environment conducive to their success. As an intermediary, it introduces highly capable IT freelancers, designers, and product managers tailored to meet organizational needs. The company prides itself on its ability to guide clients and freelancers through the entire process from proposal to project completion, enhancing the experience for all parties involved.
