The KCGI team came in first in the Kansai preliminary round and advanced to the final round on October 31 as one of the three teams representing the Kansai region. The team proposed a business plan utilizing the "Ichijyoji Asakura Clan Site," which was the site of the castle town of the Asakura clan, a feudal lord in the Warring States period.Unfortunately, the KCGI team lost out to the Kanto team, but their proposal was highly evaluated, and the contest fully demonstrated KCGI's strength in the fields of business and IT.
