Last year's popular regional problem-solving pitch and matching event "UPDATE179" will be held again this year. We look forward to the participation of many people, including local government officials, in this forum to find clues to solving regional problems such as a shortage of manpower and successors, securing regional medical care, securing regional transportation, and promoting tourism, and to consider concrete solutions.
