About Fukushima Tech Create (FTC)
“Fukushima Tech Create” was established to increase the number of individuals producing technology and services from the Fukushima Hamadori region.
Run by the Fukushima Innovation Coast Promotion Organization (FIPO), Fukushima Tech Create (FTC) provides support for companies and individuals attempting to set up or create business within the 15 municipalities of the Hamadori area in Fukushima (*Innovation Area) through the following three engines.
Support for business start-up and establishment using the three engines
(1) On-site support from specialists
Participants can receive free hands-on support in clarifying ideas or brushing up business plans in the start-up or establishment stage from specialists who are well experienced in supporting businesses.
