Product overview

The Ota Industry Promotion Association operates as a public foundation providing a comprehensive ecosystem of business support services for small and medium enterprises in Ota Ward, Tokyo. Rather than a unified software product, the organization offers an integrated portfolio of programs including matchmaking services (受・発注あっせん相談サービス), the commercial portal (商いPiO), new product/technology development subsidies, the annual innovation competition (大田区中小企業新製品・新技術コンクール), and startup support (創業PiO). Physical infrastructure includes the PiO industrial complex with exhibition halls and co-working spaces, the PiO PARK innovation hub near Haneda Airport, and the 六郷BASE startup facility. The service portfolio also encompasses job matching (おしごとナビ大田区), expert consultation (ビジネスサポート), and design services (PiOデザイン工房), all designed to support local manufacturing businesses and foster innovation across the district.
