What is Sendai BOSAI-TECH Innovation Platform?

BOSAI-TECH is a platform that continuously generates innovative solutions to disaster prevention challenges by integrating disaster prevention, technology, and business.

This platform was established in February 2022, the organization aims to create disaster prevention-related businesses and form the “BOSAI-TECH Innovation Ecosystem” through diverse activities. These include supporting idea generation, prototype development, and proof-of-concept testing; facilitating business matching; disseminating information; and hosting networking events, all while fostering collaboration among members.

We bring together all stakeholders: supporting companies in gathering needs from disaster sites and product development, providing local governments with opportunities to observe verification experiments and share information, and leveraging the specialized knowledge of academic institutions. Together, we are working to create new disaster prevention solutions. We tackle disaster prevention challenges that were previously difficult to realize due to technical constraints or profitability issues, and we will expand the businesses born from this initiative from Sendai to the rest of Japan and the world.

Through this platform, we aim to realize the vision of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction while simultaneously fostering the growth of the disaster prevention industry.

BACKGROUND

In Sendai City and Tohoku Area, there are many citizens, governments, and companies who have experienced the Great East Japan Earthquake, who understand the difficult situation and the importance of disaster prevention and have a strong desire to contribute to disaster prevention.

Sendai City is a disaster prevention role model city certified by the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) in 2014 and is promoting the "creation of a disaster prevention environment city" that leads the world's disaster prevention field.

In March 2015, at the 3rd UN World Conference on Disaster Risk Reduction held in Sendai, the "Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030" which incorporates the experiences and lessons learned from the Great East Japan Earthquake was adopted. And countries all over the world decided to work on disaster prevention and mitigation according to this framework.

In addition, in September 2015, it was determined that comprehensive disaster risk management would be formulated and implemented in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Reduction Goal 11 “Creating a Town That Can Continue to Live” of “SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals)”, which is a common goal of the international community.

While such international disaster prevention efforts are being promoted,
Sendai City states that they aim to revitalize local industries through the creation of disaster prevention-related industries by "BOSAI-TECH" in the "Sendai City Economic Growth Strategy 2023" to promote disaster prevention projects from the industrial side.

By hosting and operating this platform as a disaster prevention environment city “Sendai”,
and promoting the participation and exchange of various stakeholders in Japan and overseas and business creation, which is not limited to Sendai City,
we aim to realize the "Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030".
