Co-creation refers to when diverse stakeholders in a community utilize IT to communicate and cooperate in a manner that allows all participants to create new value. To effectively utilize co-creation for regional innovation, knowledge storage is necessary to allow users to solve problems that arise in the community. Therefore, in this study, a knowledge-storage model was developed to systematically store cases of regional innovation and community problem solving, to effectively retrieve the cases required by users, and to utilize co-creation. To this end, a literature review and expert interviews were carried out to analyze user requirements, and the concept, functions, architecture, data structures, and attributes of co-creation knowledge storage were defined. In addition, the processes through which knowledge storage was utilized for regional innovation were presented as a scenario. This study’s contributions include the accumulation of research data related to co-creation knowledge storage for regional innovation and new case-based follow-up studies related to knowledge storage. This study also contributes to practical work by presenting the possibility of local governments or institutions establishing and utilizing knowledge storage to solve problems in regional innovation.
