On July 23rd, the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry sponsored the 15th “Kyoto Wisdom Entrepreneurship Awards” ceremony. Guardian Inc. received the “Special Award” from amongst 35 entries, which was given to an entrepreneur in need of support and with high growth potential.
Reasons for selection and expectations for the company
The number of recognized cases of bullying among children and the number of children/students not attending school are on the rise, and the need for countermeasures against bullying is increasing. While questionnaires are considered effective in detecting bullying, the questionnaires provided by Guardian are designed from a “student first” perspective. We hope that the award will help the company’s system spread, with the support of various organizations and solve the problems surrounding children.
Award Comments by Caitlin Puzzar (Representative Director)
As someone who moved to Kyoto to start a business, I am grateful for the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s support and recognition of my achievements. I would like to make daily efforts so that kimino micata can expand further, and create an environment where children can always feel safe and comfortable consulting with us. I hope that this award will lead to the expansion of efforts to address issues such as bullying with the support of various organizations, and that the problems surrounding children will be resolved.
