Would you like to create products that will challenge the world together with companies in Yao City?如果有這個機會,你要不要與八尾市的企業攜手,共同創作挑戰世界的作品呢?

These are Yao City companies that have supported Japanese manufacturing from the ground up and have created all kinds of household goods and industrial products. Although they have superior technologies, these have not been introduced to the world.

In order to break out of such a situation, we will create original products that make use of the technological capabilities we have cultivated and aim to expand into various markets around the world over the next few years.

Therefore, together with companies in Yao City, we appeal to creators who will take on the world.

八尾市的企業主,多年來在幕後支持著日本的製造業,創造出各種生活雜貨及工業製品,然而,縱使八尾市的中小企業擁有優秀的技術,卻苦無機會向世界展現潛藏的實力。

為了跳脫這樣的狀況,八尾市將靈活運用長年磨練的技術能量,打造出自己的原創商品,用數年的時間,目標是走向全球需求迥異的市場。

因此,八尾市的企業主們熱情徵求能夠跟八尾站在一起,向世界舞台挑戰的創意人。

The stage for the first year is Taiwan.首年的舞台就在「台灣」

Taiwan is a region that has brisk exchanges and strong cultural affinities with Japan. It is also attracting attention as a foothold for expanding into the People’s Republic of China and Southeast Asia.

In Taiwan, we will work together with Yao City companies to study the lifestyles of the locals and create products that seamlessly become part of their lives.

台灣是與日本的交流深刻,文化的親近性也相當高的地方。以進軍中國・東南亞前的試水溫觀點來說,台灣也是十分受到日本的注目。這次,我們便要與八尾的企業主一起來到台灣,探查當地人的生活文化,希望能打造出能夠走進台灣日常生活的產品。

About the YAOYA PROJECTYAOYA PROJECT是什麼?

The YAOYA PROJECT is a project to make Yao manufacturing known to the world. The word YAOYA likens Yao manufacturing, which can produce a wide range of things, to a greengrocer, YAOYA in Japanese (literally, “a supplier of 800 things”). It fits Yao manufacturing, which has delivered good and seasonal things with sure judgment. In addition, the name Yao itself means the locality of Yao, which is aligned with commercial and industrial agriculture. It also represents Yao manufacturing that has supported and enriched the lives of Japanese people at close quarters.

YAOYA PROJECT是指將八尾市的製作物推廣到全世界的專案。「YAOYA」是新鮮蔬果專賣店“八百屋“的日語發音,「八百」用以代表八尾的企業能夠製造的品項之多,並且如同蔬果專賣店一般,以精確的眼光挑選,提供最上質最新鮮的產品。此外,YAOYA也可直接代表八尾(YAO),除了呈現八尾市的農、工、商集結的地域特性,也表現出「八尾的製造能量,總在不遠處支持著、豐富著日本人的生活」。
