About Us

Thinking Together, Creating Together

Everyone can be on the "making" side.
If you are dissatisfied with society, let's first work on our own hands.
Let's use our abilities to create a more enjoyable society in which we can live.
Let's create a new mechanism while thinking together with those in need.
Let's connect beyond organizational and regional barriers, exchange ideas, help each other, and challenge each other.

Social R&D

R&D stands for Research and Development.
At Code for Japan, we simply describe it as "thinking" and "building."
You might picture universities or companies researching and developing science, technology, or products.
But when it comes to the kind of society we'll all live in from here on — who should be doing that research and development?
Who should be doing the thinking, and who should be doing the building?Surely, it should be us — the people who actually live in that society.
"Together, let's think about and build the society of tomorrow." That's the spirit we've poured into Social R&D.

Beyond all borders

Let's cross all boundaries.

Open-source minded
