June 7, 2021 Decision on Adopted Entities for Project on Digital Utilization Support under FY2020 Supplementary Budget

A number of participating organizations were adopted as a result of the first public appeal through the Japan Data Communications Association (hereafter referred to as the “executive organization”) for participants in the project on digital utilization support under a fiscal 2020 supplementary budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC).

1. Project overview

The project on digital utilization support aims to reduce disparities in opportunities or required abilities related to digital utilization among older people. For this purpose, the project grants subsidies to entities, such as private businesses, which will provide online administrative procedures, advice, and consultation on using services to older people who do not have sufficient understanding and skills regarding digital utilization.
MIC made this public appeal related to this project through the executive organization from Friday, April 23 through Friday, May 14, 2021.

2. Result of adoption

As a result of the public appeal, 33 applications were received. Among them, the participating organizations were adopted by considering the outcome of an external experts’ evaluation meeting established under the executive organization.
