Based on computational science research, the City of Yokohama along with Ohsawa Laboratory in the UTokyo have been promoting the value co-creation processes to inform citizens about a working style that shifts from "Stay Home" where individuals calmly stay at home to "Stay with Your Community" where people connect with each other and make sure that they are living with their communities. Other participants in the market of data, including Dawex (France) and its worldwide clients, collaborate with this process. Each participant, tentatively called Co-Creation Lab, has brought back information from the perspective of businesspeople and individual citizens. In this project, we utilize the results of our past research and studies to collaboratively create new lifestyles and business models. These will contribute to solving the social issues during/post the COVID-19 era, while sharing the vision of adding value to future local communities through data integration.
