About

BOSAI-TECH is a platform that continuously generates innovative solutions to disaster prevention challenges by integrating disaster prevention, technology, and business.
With over 300 member organizations collaborating, we pool disaster prevention challenges, technologies, and ideas to create new solutions. To date, we have conducted over 25 demonstration experiments and other initiatives to promote commercialization. We also widely disseminate these efforts internationally.
Through this platform, we aim to realize the principles outlined in the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction while simultaneously fostering the growth of the disaster prevention-related industry.
*In Japanese, “BOSAI” (防災) means anticipating disasters and implementing countermeasures in advance.In Japan, where natural disasters like earthquakes, typhoons, and floods are frequent, knowledge and technology for disaster prevention have developed since ancient times. In recent years, this concept has gained global recognition, and the term “BOSAI” is now widely used in English as well.

Program

Members collaborate to support a wide range of activities, including idea generation, prototype development and verification testing, business matching, information dissemination, and networking events.
To help those interested in creating disaster prevention-related businesses deepen their understanding of disaster prevention challenges, we provide opportunities to visit disaster prevention sites, hear directly from personnel, and exchange opinions.
Furthermore, we solicit proposals for field testing and prototype development from companies eager to solve disaster prevention challenges. We support these efforts by facilitating field testing and prototype development in collaboration with municipalities facing disaster prevention issues. By conducting field testing and prototyping alongside users facing these challenges, we aim to enhance the feasibility of solving them.
Additionally, we periodically host networking events for companies interested in creating and expanding disaster prevention-related businesses, as well as events to foster connections between municipalities. We are committed to creating an environment that facilitates collaboration among our members.
We organize events where companies, research institutions, and municipalities with a strong interest in the disaster prevention field gather. Alongside case studies from BOSAI-TECH, we introduce technologies and products applicable to disaster prevention businesses, sharing the latest information among our members.
