Local Government and Communities

Examples of working with local governments, regional groups, grants, and temples.

This category collects articles about working with people outside the IT industry, including local governments, regional groups, and temples. Since its launch in 2019, Miyako de IT has held events in Kyoto temples and machiya townhouses, and has also created ties with government through events at the Former Assembly Hall of the Kyoto Prefectural Government Office.

IT communities can easily remain inside their own industry. By using locally rooted places as venues and building relationships with government and regional organizations, an event can become open to its wider community. These articles organize Kyoto-based examples of how municipalities can work with IT talent communities, how engineers can bridge the public sector, and why temples can host IT events. They are an entry point for public officials, community organizations, and engineers interested in connecting place and technology.
