Multimedia (tele-communications) Industry Invitation Project

Promotion of the Establishment of Tele-Communications Industries
 In order to make full use of the 17% of the land area that are left for the residents, to contribute to the reduction of the high unemployment rate, and to promote vitalization of our town, the Town of Kadena is directing their attention to the multimedia (tele-communications) industry which does not require large-scale land area and has a possibility to create employment and is actively inviting such enterprises through our Multimedia (Tele-Communications) Industry Industry invitation Project. Kadena was designated Multimedia Related Industry Promotion District based on the Special Resolution of Okinawa Development Plan that was established for the advancement of the information technology industry. In addition, along with taxation exemption based on above law and the Kadena Tele-Communications Industry Promotion Ordinance, Kadena promotes industry invitations through the applications of rent subsidies, employment subsidies, interest subsidy grants.
 Also, in preparation for industry invitation, utilization of existing public facilities and in-town private facilities, and the construction of a new facility to serve as a focal point are underway. At Kadena, these policies are being applied and the invitations of multimedia (tele-communications) industries are actively pursued. As of July 2002, 11 companies have established businesses in Kadena. We are making further efforts to invite more enterprises into our town.
