A positive trend to confront the game-changing challenge, starting from Okinawa.
X-BORDER KOZA is
This is an exchange hub based on the keyword "a place for co-creation that transcends the boundaries of region, industry, and personnel."
Okano Valve Manufacturing Co., Ltd., founded in 1926 (Taisho 15), is headquartered in Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture.
We have been involved in the manufacturing, sales, and maintenance of valves for nuclear and thermal power plants.
However, sales plummeted after the 2011 earthquake and nuclear accident.
I've come to realize that "you can't protect the future with just one strength."
However, new ideas are hard to come by within the company.
That's why we chose to venture out into the world and meet people from different fields.
That crossing of boundaries triggered a chemical reaction, and new businesses began to take root.
From this experience,
I realized that "those who have mastered their craft need a place where they can take a new step forward."
To share the value I've gained from my own experiences with everyone who takes on challenges—
—The space for crossing boundaries and co-creation, 'X-BORDER KOZA,' was born from that idea.

Okinawa City Koza: A City of Challenges
In 1956, Koza was a town dependent on the U.S. military base. The town's vitality was easily shaken by any restriction imposed by the base.
Amidst this situation, young people rose up to revitalize the town with their own culture, and the All-Island Eisa Contest was born.
Eventually, it grew into the "All-Island Eisa Festival," attracting tens of thousands of people, becoming a cultural tradition that has continued for over 60 years and a source of pride for the town.
In the 1970s, Koza became the stage for new challenges.
A unique music scene called "Koza Rock" emerged from rock cafes and live music venues.
It wasn't just entertainment; it was an event that gave the young people of the town a real sense of purpose, a feeling that "from here, we can take on challenges that will reach the world."
What we are currently facing is a lack of opportunities for challenges.
Young people are leaving the country, making it difficult for new cycles to emerge.
For the next 100 years, we aim to create a city that fosters a cycle of challenges and nurtures new industries and cultures.
Just as the All-Island Eisa Festival once revitalized the town through the power of culture, and Koza Rock opened the door to the world through the power of expression,
The people of Koza possess a spirit of challenge that can leave a world-changing impact.
The challenges born in this town spread across the sea, and eventually that passion returned to Koza, giving rise to new beginnings.
We will create a city where new industries and cultures continue to emerge through the power of challenge.
This cycle will eventually be passed on to the next generation, aiming for Koza to become a city that the world can be proud of as a "city of challenge" in the future.
