Abstract
Based on the perspectives summarised in Chap. 2, this chapter considers two fields which hold even greater promise for the utilization of HIT schemes. Specifically, this refers to the utilization of HIT schemes related to (1) “regional development that utilizes local industry and attracts new business start-ups” as part of earthquake disaster reconstruction, and (2) the Kokusyu (Sake and Shochu) Project, which government bodies are promoting cooperatively from the perspective of “locally generated global marketing.”

Notes

The name of this fund has so far been translated in more ways than one. The World Bank (2011) called it the “Japan Earthquake Securité Supporting Fund” while the United Nations (2012) refers to it as “Disaster Site Support Fund.” Others categorise this fund under the broader name of “Earthquake Relief Fund.” The name used in this text is a direct and official translation of the Japanese name, reflecting the name of our company, Music Securities.
