Everyone, it's been a while.
This time, we've launched "Web-DOG (Web Digital Open Group)," a group in which local companies in each region hold competitions and local students carry out actual site production, aiming to solve regional challenges!
Web Digital Open Group (Web-DOG) is a group for developing the ability of local students to tackle and solve the various challenges of each region, and for advancing regional digital transformation (DX) through industry-academia collaboration.
We'd like to report the results of the first "Web-DOG" student competition, held in Iwate in July 2020.

To solve the challenge of rebuilding and renewing recognition of a brand meant to last the next 100 years for "Azumine Shuzoten," a long-established sake brewery with 340 years of history in Iwate Prefecture, students from the local Morioka Information Business & Design College gave presentations.
[Overview]
- Name: Web-DOG Iwate — Azumine Shuzoten Competition
- Competition date: Wednesday, July 9, 2020
- Venue: As a COVID-19 measure, held online connecting Iwate and Tokyo.
- Client｜Azumine Shuzoten: Azumine Shuzoten was founded in the mid-Edo period, in the first year of Tenmei (1781), as "Shiwa Shuzoten." Its predecessor was "Gonbei Sakaya," which in the Enpo era (1670s) made Iwate's first Kamigata-style "clear sake" — the existence of this brewery later led to the birth of the Nanbu Toji (master brewers).
- Participating school｜Morioka Information Business & Design College: A part of the Ryutaku Gakukan educational corporation, MCL Vocational School Group. Morioka Information Business & Design College (formerly Morioka Information Business College)｜Aiming to "develop people who can thrive in society," "MoriJobi" has sent over 5,500 graduates out into and beyond the prefecture as job-ready talent. People with solid knowledge and skills and a rich humanity are now most needed in society. The wealth of experience gained through MoriJobi's original specialized education and hands-on classes is exactly what polishes your humanity and leads you to growth.
